Call you up in the middle of the night,

like a fire flower miles away,

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,

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 let myself pull 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 seem all worth while,

how on earth did I get so jaded,

last mystery seemed so naked



I can go where no one else can go,

I know what no one else has known,

here I am just a drowning in the brain,

with a ticket for a runaway train



Everything seems judded inside,

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 in the brain,

its just easier to deal 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
