RUNAWAY TRAIN
Trixter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello my only friend hello old stranger
Looks like we meet again I think I'm in danger
This life ain't no fairy tale the world's so misleading
I'm searchin' for peace of mind 'cause my soul is bleeding
The spirits they told me when times get tough
Don't just run away
The spirits they showed me that it's alright
Confusion ain't worth the price of your life

The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track
So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back
Goodbye to all I feel goodbye to love
This time I'm trapped by emotions that I can't rise above
So where can I run to now tell me where can I go
When life's just a page in time just a stepping stone
The spirits they told me when times get tough
Don't just run away
The spirtits they showed me that it's alright
Confusion ain't worth the price of your life
The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track
So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back
I need to make a change 'cause it's raining in my heart
I know there's someplace waiting
To ease my mind and free my soul
The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track

So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back
