Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a fire fly without the light

Ami

You were there like a blowtorch burnin'

I was a key that could use a little turnin'

So I'm tired and I couldn't even sleep

So many secrets I couldn't keep

Ami

Promised myself I wouldn't leave

One more promise I couldn't keep

Seems no one can help me now

And I'm in too deep there's no way out

This time I have really let myself astray

R: Runaway train never going back

Runaway on a one way track

Ami

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Follows same pattern as above

Can you help me remember how to smile

Make it somehow all seem worthwile

How on earth did I get so jaded

Life's mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drowning in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything seems cut and dry

Day and night Earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it

R: Runaway train never going back

Runaway 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

Like a madman laughing at the rain

Little out of touch little insane

It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back

Runaway on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never going back

Runaway train tearing up the track

Runaway train burning in my veins

Runaway but it always seems the same.
