Runaway Train

[Verse 1]

I'm worried about you, I'm worried about me

The curves around midnight aren't easy to see

Flashing red warnings unseen in the rain

This thing has turned into a runaway train

[Verse 2]

Long distance phone calls, a voice on the line

Electrical miles that soften the time

The dynamite too is hooked on the wire

And so are the rails of American Flyers

[Verse 3]

Blind boys and gamblers, they invented the blues

We'll pay up in blood when this marker comes due

To try and get off now, it's about as insane

As those who wave lanterns at runaway trains

[Bridge]

Steel rails and hard lives are always in twos

I have been here before this and now it's with you

[Verse] 4

I'm worried about you, I'm worried about me

We're lighting the fuses and counting to three

And what are the choices for those who remain?

The sign of the cross on a runaway train

[Outro]

This thing has turned into a runaway train

This thing has turned into a runaway train

Our love has turned into a runaway train
