Soul Asylum ~ Runaway Train (Lyrics)

Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was the 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 leave One more promise I could keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep, there's no way out This time I have really let myself escape Runaway train never going back On 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 did I get so jaded When life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know where no one else knows Here I am just a drowning brain With a ticket for the runaway train And everything seems cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't need that Runaway train never going back On way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Got a ticket for a runaway train Land 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 On 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 face Runaway, but it always seems the same
