Runaway Train Lyrics

[00:09.28] Call you up in the middle of the night
[00:13.23] Like a firefly without a light
[00:17.40] You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
[00:21.25] I was a key that could use a little turnin'
[00:25.46] So tired that I couldn't even sleep
[00:29.41] So many secrets I couldn't keep
[00:33.58] Promised myself I wouldn't weep
[00:37.77] One more promise, I couldn't keep
[00:41.19] It seems no one can help me now
[00:44.91] I'm in too deep, there's no way out
[00:49.30] This time I have really led myself astray
[00:58.12] Runaway train, never goin' back
[01:02.29] Wrong way, on a one way track
[01:06.36] Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
[01:10.53] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[01:15.87]
[01:18.83] Can you help me remember how to smile
[01:22.95] Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
[01:26.90] How on Earth did I get so jaded
[01:31.01] Life's history seems so faded
[01:35.14] I can go where no one else can go
[01:39.10] I know what no one else knows
[01:43.24] Here I am just a drownin' in the rain
[01:47.22] With a ticket for a runaway train
[01:50.57] And everything seems cut and dry
[01:54.81] Day and night, earth and sky
[01:58.73] Somehow I just don't believe it
[02:07.72] Runaway train, never goin' back
[02:11.83] Wrong way on a one way track
[02:15.91] Seems like I should be getting somewhere
[02:20.14] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[02:25.43]
[02:56.98] Bought a ticket for a runaway train
[03:01.00] Like a madman laughin' at the rain
[03:04.98] A little out of touch, little insane
[03:09.18] Just easier than dealin' with the pain
[03:13.45] Runaway train, never goin' back
[03:17.64] Wrong way on a one way track
[03:21.59] Seems like I should be getting somewhere
[03:25.64] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[03:30.01] Runaway train never comin' back
[03:34.09] Runaway train, tearin' up the track
[03:38.15] Runaway train, burnin' in my veins
[03:42.02] I run away, but it always seems the same
[03:46.10]
