Soul Asylum : Runaway Train Lyrics

Songwriters: Pirner, David;

. Send "Runaway Train" Ringtone to your Cell .

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 secrets 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?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life'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 a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dried
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

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

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

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

Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same

this song really hits home for me.I onnce was homeless,addicted to herion and really felt lost,alone & hopeless.I saw things I never want to see or do again.I am now clean have my own place & enjoying life.there are so many homeless people that are runaways,living a life that sucks,but in many cases its better than where they came from.PEACE

I love this song so effing much it has to be my favorite song of the moment (which sometimes changes from hour to hour or day to day whatever floats my boat) I heard this on the radio this morning (XM Ethel) and I love it, but I have heard if before and got it stuck in my head before.
For some reason this song gets stuck in my head easily.
