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 lead myself astray      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 worthwhile   how on earth did i get so jaded?   life's mysteries seem so faded   i can go where noone else can go   i know what no one else knows   here i am just drownin' 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      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      bought a ticket for a runaway train   like a madman laughing at the rain   little out of touch, little insane   it's 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   i run away but it always seems the same
