I keep wishing you'd fly away How can you hold yourself down? You carry on like this every other day You're turning into the sound You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind You tell me everything is fine - just fine On a runaway train tonight You say "I love you in another way," You say you're leaving this town You drive me up to your hideaway, as you were burning it down You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind Tell you everything is fine - just fine On a runaway train tonight I need a reason to keep away, or get up off my back I can't stop it or turn away till I run out of track I got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on my mind I'll tell you everything is fine - just fine On a runaway train tonight On a runaway train tonight On a runaway train tonight (On a runaway) On a runaway train tonight
