Call you up in the middle of the night,

like a fire flower FAR OF light,

you were there like a blow torch burnin',

I was a key that could use a little turnin'



So tired that I couldn't even sleep,

so many secrets I couldn't keep,

I 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 theres no way out,

this time I have really led myself a-stray



Runaway train never goin' 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 mysteries seem so FADED(???)



I can go where no one else can go,

I know what no one else knows,

here I am just a drowning in the rain,

with a ticket for a runaway train



Everything seems cut and dry,

day and night earth and sky,

somehow I just don't believe it



Runaway train never goin' back,

wrong way on a one way track

seems like I should be getting somewhere,

somehow I'm neither here nor there



Want a ticket for a runaway train?, 

like a madman laughin' at the rain,

a little out of touch little insane,

its just easier THAN DEALING with the pain



Runaway train never goin' 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 comin' back,

runaway train tearin' up the track,

runaway train burnin' in my veins,

run away but it always seems the same
