Runaway Train
~Soul Asylum~






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
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I can'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 let myself astray
Runaway train, never coming back
Wrong way on a one-way track
It 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
And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
I got a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little bit out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my face
I run away but it always seems to stay...
