Verse 1:(Rhy.Fig.1) Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly with-

-out a light__ you were there like a blow - torch burn - ing

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 noone can help me now I'm in too deep There's no

way out_ This time I have really led myself astray

Chorus:(Rhy.Fig.2) 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__

2nd Verse:(w/Rhy.Fig.1) 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 noone else can go_

I know what noone else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain

with a ticket for a runaway train Everything is cut and dry_ day

and night, earth and sky Somehow I_

just don't be-lieve it

(Repeat chorus)

Interlude:(w/Rhy.Fig.1 - last 16 bars only)

3rd Verse Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a mad - man

laughin' at the rain A little out of touch, little insane

It's just easier than dealing with the pain

(Repeat chorus twice)

Outro:(w/Rhy.Fig.1 - first 4 bars only, until end)

G fade out
