Soul Asylum Run Away Train lyrics

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blow torch 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

Run away 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 drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a run away train


Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Run away 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 run away train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Run away 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

Run away train never comin' back
Run away train tearin' up the track
Run away train burnin' in my veins
Run away but it always seems the same
