Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I fall
Angels of my nature won't accept last call
I stopped thinkin', I just react
Before I know it everything turns black
[Verse 2]
I'm on a highway, doing ninety
Utterly jinxed
Out of control and impossibly loose
I'm comprehending, without a clue
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I'm gonna do
[Verse 3]
I'm like a runaway train
Screamin' through the back ten
Roarin' through the rain
Like a runaway train
[Verse 4]
Maybe it's a full moon, maybe high tide
The fear of dying young that makes me take that ride
I start out slowly, building up steam
Before I know it, all illusion, it's like I'm in a dream
[Verse 5]
No rhyme, no reason, nothing 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
[Verse 6]
Like a runaway train
Racin' to the void
Roarin' through the rain
Like a runaway train
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
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 insane?
[Verse 9]
We approach the speed of light
We approach infinite mass
We can't cross over, all the future becomes the past
It's nice to know there's limits
Nice to know there's walls
But when you're on a bender, you don't care about that at all
[Verse 10]
There's only movin' forward
Pickin' up speed
Movin' feels like freedom, sometimes that's all you need
There's the wind in your hair
A cold on your brow
Nothing else matters, you're alive right now
[Verse 11]
Like a runaway train
Ragin' through the dark night
Roarin' 'gainst the grain
Like a runaway train
[Verse 12]
Oh, runaway train
Oh, like a train
Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train
Runaway train
