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 running

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 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 seems worth while?
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so dated

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is 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

Solo

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch
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 comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway
but it always seems the same
