Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a fire fly 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 coming back
Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be gettin' 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 mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

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

Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain

A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealin' with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track

Runaway train burnin' in my viens
Runaway but it always seems the same

Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
