Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burnin' I was a key that could use a little turnin'
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 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
Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain
