Soul Asylum

Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night.
Like a firefly without a light,
you were there like a blow-torch 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 led myself astray.

Runaway train never going back.
Wrong way on a oneway 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 mistery seems so faded.
I can go where no one else can go.
I know what no one else knows.
Here I am, just to drowning 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 going back.
Wrong way on a oneway 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 laughin' at the rain.
A little out of touch, little insane.
It's just easier than dealing with the pain.

Runaway train never going back.
Wrong way on a oneway track.
Seems like I should be getting somewhere.
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.
