Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

Lyrics

Called 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
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

Chorus:
Runaway train never going back
wrong way on a one way 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 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 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

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughing at the rain
a little out of touch, little insane
it's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train is tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins,
Runaway
but it always seems the same
