Lyrics:

RUNAWAY TRAIN





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



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



Blind boys and gamblers

They invented the blues

Will 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



Steel rails and hard lives

Are always in twos

I have been here before this

And now it's with you



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



This thing has turned into

A runaway train

This thing has turned into

A runaway train

Our love has turned into

A runaway train
