Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

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 knows
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
