Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burnin' I was a key that could use a little turnin' So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise, I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep, there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train, never goin' back Wrong way, on a one way track Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there ♪ Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on Earth did I get so jaded Life's history seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it ♪ Runaway train, never goin' back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there ♪ Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain A little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealin' with the pain Runaway train, never goin' back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train, tearin' up the track Runaway train, burnin' in my veins I run away, but it always seems the same
