Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
It seems no one can help me now
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Runaway train, never going back
So many secrets I couldn't keep
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
I can go where no one else can go
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Runaway train, burning in my veins
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
How on earth did I get so jaded?
I'm in too deep there's no way out
Runaway train, tearing up the track
One more promise I couldn't keep
I know what no one else knows
Wrong way on a one-way track
A little out of touch, a little insane
Somehow I just don't believe it
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Wrong way on a one-way track
Wrong way on a one-way track
And everything seems cut and dried
Life's mystery seems so faded
Runaway train, never going back
Day and night, earth and sky
You were there like a blowtorch burning
This time I have really led myself astray
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
I was a key that could use a little turning
Runaway train, never going back
Runaway train, never coming back
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile?
With a ticket for a runaway train
