Runaway Train by Busted.
A cover of the Soul Asylum Classic, features as a B-side to cd2 of 3am/Thunderbirds
Are Go the new single out 26th July - go buy it!
Rosie (RoRoB on street-team) x
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a fire without a light
You were like a blow torch 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

Chorus

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 all somehow 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 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 dont 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

Interlude

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch a little insane
Its 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
Runaway but it always seems the same.
