[Verse 1]

Call you up in

 the middle of

 the night

Like a firefly

 without a lig

ht

You were there

 like a blowto

rch burnin'

I was a key th

at could use a

 little turnin

'

So tired that 

I couldn't eve

n sleep

So many secret

s I couldn't k

eep

Promised mysel

f I wouldn't w

eep

One more promi

se I couldn't 

keep

[Pre-Chorus]
             
It seems no on

      
e can help me 

now
             
I'm in too dee

           
p, there's no 

way out
             
This time I ha

            
ve really led 

  
myself astray

[Chorus]

Runaway train 

never going ba

ck

Wrong way on a

 one-way track

Seems like I s

hould be getti

ng somewhere

Somehow I'm ne

ither here nor

 there

[Verse 2]

Can you help m

e remember how

 to smile

Make it someho

w all seem wor

thwhile

How on earth d

id I get so ja

ded

Life's mysteri

es seem so fad

ed

I can go where

 no one else c

an go

I know what no

 one else know

s

Here I am just

 drowning in t

he rain

With a ticket 

for a runaway 

train

[Pre-Chorus]
             
And everything

       
 seems cut and

 dry
             
Day and night,

 
 earth and sky
           
Somehow I just

         
 don't believe

 it

[Chorus]

Runaway train 

never going ba

ck

Wrong way on a

 one-way track

Seems like I s

hould be getti

ng somewhere

Somehow I'm ne

ither here nor

 there

[Verse 3]

Bought a ticke

t for a runawa

y train

Like a madman 

laughing at th

e rain

Little out of 

touch, little 

insane

It's just easi

er than dealin

g with the pai

n

[Chorus]

Runaway train 

never going ba

ck

Wrong way on a

 one-way track

Seems like I s

hould be getti

ng somewhere

Somehow I'm ne

ither here nor

 there

Runaway train 

never coming b

ack

Runaway train 

tearing up the

 track

Runaway train 

burning in my 

veins

I'd runaway bu

t it always se

ems the same
