Artist: soul asylum
Song: runaway train


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

*Chorus*

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

*Chorus*

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...
