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
prechrous
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 going back
wrong way on a oneway 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 worthwhile
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 drowning in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train
pre
and everything seems cut and dry
day and night
earth and sky
somehow i just don’t believe it
runaway train never going back
wrong way on a oneway 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 oneway 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
runaway but it always seems the same
