1. Call you up in the middle of the night, like a firefly without a light.

|Am |Am |G |G

You were there like a blowtorch burning. I was the key that could use a little turning.

2. 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.

Brid. 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.

Refr. 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.

3. Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all them worthwile.

How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seems so faded.

4. 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 runaway train.

Brid. Everything seems cut and dry; day and night, earth and sky.

Somehow I just don't believe it.

Refr.

5. Bought a ticket for a runaway train like a madman laughing in the rain;

little out of touch, little insane. Just easier than dealing with the pain.

Refr.
