The Flower Kings Runaway Train lyrics

I can't stay, now I have to get away, right into the storm
Leaving the ones I love - Bags are packed, getting out the door
What is hidden out there - I don't know
Like a new world rising - full of ice and snow

I can't play with those kind of cards you gave me right from the start
A brand new deal is what I need, a powerful hand & a tool to succeed
I'm just about to enter an open door
A long life behind me - not knowing what's in store

Nothing ever stays the same - Living like a runaway train - got no time to feel the pain

The world is going to change again - nothing but a runaway train - nothing ever stays the same

A damp light before my eyes, I don't know which direction I shall go
Like the hand of fate was touching me, pointing west towards the gold
A secret society - machine or man, I feel this turn is mine - I have the upper hand

Nothing ever stays the same - Living like a runaway train - got no time to feel the pain
The world is going to change again - nothing but a runaway train - nothing ever stays the same
