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
I 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 sameSo what's the problem
You say you care
When they really need you
You're not there
This isn't something
You can rise above
Do you wanna help or
Do you want the shove
You say you need some action
You say it's time for a change
When I hear you talkin'
You sound so lame
Don't things look different
In the light of day
But if you get nothin'
You got nothin' to say
Blue sky's today
You talk about tomorrow like it's just another day
No more to say
Don't tell me you care then look the other way
Mind over matter
If you don't mind it really doesn't matter
Just don't waste my time
Mind over matter
If you don't mind it really doesn't matter
You're wasting precious time
Say you've got the answer
You know what to do
You're such a fancy dancer
Who's payin' you
There's such a fine line
Between love and hate
You won't know the difference
Till it's too late
What's the problem
You say you care
When they really need you
You're not there
This isn't something
You can rise above I hear you talkin'
But it's not enough
