Call you up in the middle of the night
|
Like a firefly without a light
|
You were there like a blowtorch burning
|
I was a key that could use a little turning
|
|
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 my self astray
|
|
Runaway train, never going back
|
Wrong way on a one-way track
|
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
|
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
|
|
Can you help me remember how to smile?
|
Make it somehow all seem worthwile?
|
How on earth did I get so jaded?
|
Life's mystery 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-dried
|
Day and night, earth and sky
|
Somehow I just don't believe it
|
|
Runaway train, never going 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 laughing at the rain
|
A little out of touch, a little insane
|
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
|
|
Runaway train, never going 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 coming back
|
Runaway train, tearing up the track
|
Runaway train, burning in my veins
|
I run away, but it always seems the same
|
