Soul Asylum - Runaway Train Lyrics
Call you up in the middle of the nightLike a firefly without a lightYou were there like a blowtorch burningI was a key that could use a little turningSo tired that I couldnt even sleepSo many secrets I couldnt keepI promised myself I wouldnt weepOne more promise I couldnt keepIt seems no one can help me now,Im in too deep; theres no way outThis time I have really led myself astrayRunaway train, never going backWrong way on a one-way trackSeems like I should be getting somewhereSomehow Im neither here nor thereCan you help me remember how to smile?Make it somehow all seem worthwhileHow on earth did I get so jaded?Lifes mystery seems so fadedI can go where no one else can goI know what no one else knowsHere I am just a-drownin in the rainWith a ticket for a runaway trainAnd everything seems cut and dried,Day and night, earth and sky,Somehow I just dont believe itRunaway train, never going backWrong way on a one-way trackSeems like I should be getting somewhereSomehow Im neither here nor thereBought a ticket for a runaway trainLike a madman laughing at the rainA little out of touch, a little insaneIts just easier than dealing with the painRunaway train, never going backWrong way on a one-way trackSeems like I should be getting somewhereSomehow Im neither here nor thereRunaway train, never coming backRunaway train, tearing up the trackRunaway train, burning in my veinsI run away but it always seems the same
