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   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, 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's known   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
