Sometimes I stumble sometimes I fall
The angels of my nature
Won't accept last call
I stop thinking I just react
Before I know it everything turns black
I'm on a highway doin'
Ninety utterly juiced
Out of control and impossibly loose
Uncomprehending without a clue
I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm like a runaway train
Screamin' through the back ten
Roarin' through the rain
Like a runaway train

Maybe it's a full moon maybe high tide
The fear of dying young that
Makes me take that ride
I start up slowly building up steam
Before I know it all's illusion
It's like I'm in a dream
No rhyme, no reason nothin' makes sense
No future, no past, only present tense
I'm out there floating completely alone
In a universe of chaos indifferent as a stone

Like a runaway train racin' to the void
Roarin' through the rain
Like a runaway train

I can't explain the unexplainable
Where's the electron gonna be next?
Do we really die for love and glory
Or only for wealth and sex?
Is there a reason why I'm on this road?
Is it random or ordained?
Is everyone in the world dead tonight?
Am I the only one that's sane?

We approach the speed of light
We approach infinite mass
We can't cross over or the
Future becomes the past
It's nice to know there's limit's
Nice to know there's walls
But when you're on a bender you
Don't care about that at all
There's only movin' forward
Pickin' up speed
Movement feels like freedom
Sometimes that's all you need
There's the wind in your hair
The cold on your brow
Nothin' else matters you're alive right now

Like a runaway train
Ragin' through the dark night
Roarin' 'gainst the grain
Like a runaway train

Oh, runaway train oh, like a train
Runaway train runaway train
Runaway train runaway train
