| 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 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 nor 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 a-drownin' in the rain | |
| With a ticket for a runaway train | |
| And everything seems cut and dried | |
| 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 nor there | |
| Bought a ticket for a runaway train | |
| Like a madman laughing at the rain | |
| A little out of touch, a little insane | |
| It's 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 nor there | |
| Runaway train, never coming back | |
| Runaway train, tearing up the track | |
| Runaway train, burning in my veins | |
| I run away but it always seems the same |
