Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
Call you up
in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there
like a slow torch 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 myself 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 no 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
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 one way track
Seems like I should be
getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither
here no there

Bought a ticket for a
runaway train
Like a madman
laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch
little insane
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 no 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
