Lyrics

[00:09.540] Call you up in the middle of the night
[00:13.600] Like a firefly without a light
[00:17.670] You were there like a blowtorch burning
[00:21.670] I was a key that could use a little turning
[00:25.760] So tired that I couldn't even sleep
[00:29.800] So many secrets I couldn't keep
[00:33.940] I promised myself I wouldn't weep
[00:37.890] One more promise I couldn't keep
[00:41.290] It seems no one can help me now,
[00:45.090] I'm in too deep; there's no way out
[00:49.420] This time I have really led myself astray
[00:58.330] Runaway train, never going back
[01:01.930] Wrong way on a one-way track
[01:06.460] Seems like I should be getting somewhere
[01:10.570] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[01:18.760] Can you help me remember how to smile?
[01:22.860] Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
[01:26.910] How on earth did I get so jaded?
[01:31.020] Life's mystery seems so faded
[01:34.970] I can go where no one else can go
[01:39.120] I know what no one else knows
[01:43.180] Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
[01:47.190] With a ticket for a runaway train
[01:50.410] And everything seems cut and dried,
[01:54.620] Day and night, earth and sky,
[01:58.620] Somehow I just don't believe it
[02:07.570] Runaway train, never going back
[02:11.640] Wrong way on a one-way track
[02:15.690] Seems like I should be getting somewhere
[02:19.850] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[02:56.420] Bought a ticket for a runaway train
[03:00.500] Like a madman laughing at the rain
[03:04.720] A little out of touch, a little insane
[03:08.850] It's just easier than dealing with the pain
[03:13.090] Runaway train, never going back
[03:17.050] Wrong way on a one-way track
[03:21.130] Seems like I should be getting somewhere
[03:25.280] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[03:29.350] Runaway train, never coming back
[03:33.500] Runaway train, tearing up the track
[03:37.570] Runaway train, burning in my veins
[03:41.720] I run away but it always seems the same
