VERSE
I saw you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch 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, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS
Runaway train never goin' back
track seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
somehow I'm neither here or there
VERSE
can you help me remember how to smile
make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on Earth did I get so jaded
Life's history seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just a 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
CHORUS
Runaway train never goin' back
Wrong way on a one way track I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

VERSE
What a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch, little insane
just easier than dealin' with the pain
CHORUS
Runaway train never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
I'm neither here nor there.
OUTRO
Runaway train never comin' back.
Runaway train tearin' up the track.
Runaway train burnin' in my veins.
but it always seems the same.
