The second hand is spinnin’ Feels like time is slippin’ Drippin’ through our fingers We’re movin’ and we’re shakin’ Blessed ties we’re breakin’ Racin’ into the future Will we ever take the time to look back Will we ever realize we’re not on the right track
We’re runnin’ out of control Sellin’ our souls for a ticket on A runaway train No matter how far we go We’re movin’ farther from home Bound for babel on A runaway train
The coals are in the fire All aboard desire We’re rollin’ higher building the tower This is human nature To believe the fable We’re able to match our maker Maybe somewhere down the line we’ll look back Maybe then we’ll realize we’re not on the right track
Chorus We’re in a deadly human race Conducting our own destiny Only god’s unchanging grace Can pull us off this crazy thing
Before it all crashes down We’ve got to turn around And run for cover from this runaway train
There is a faithful father He is a mighty tower He is the only way to escape this runaway Oh oh this runaway Oh oh just runaway From this runaway train
