Runaway Train
You
All
Thu 29-Jul-1993 15:42

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 secerts 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 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
somehow make it all seem worthwhile.
How on earth did I get so jaded
lief'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 drownin' in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train.

Everything is cut and dry,
day and night, earth and sky
somehow I just don't believe it.

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughin' at the rain.
Little out of touch
little insane,
just easier than dealing with the pain.

Runaway train never comin' back
runaway train terain' up the track.
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
runway but it always seems the same.
