Busted Runaway Train Lyrics

Runaway Train Lyrics

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

You were there like a slowtorch burning

Was a key that could use a little turning



So tired that I couldn't eat or 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

Runaway 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?

Last 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



And everything is could and dry,

Day and night, earth and sky,

Somehow I just don't believe it



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



Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughing at the rain

A little out of touch, a little insane

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 coming back

Runaway train, tearing up the tracks

Runaway train, burning in my veins

I run away but it always seems the same
