Lyrics

[00:07.13] I'm worried about you
[00:10.75] I'm worried about me
[00:15.43] The curves around midnight
[00:19.05] Aren't easy to see
[00:23.54] Flashing red warnings
[00:27.23] Unseen in the rain
[00:31.47] This thing has turned into
[00:35.59] A runaway train
[00:43.76] Long-distance phone calls
[00:47.69] A voice on the line
[00:51.69] Electrical miles
[00:55.80] That soften the time
[00:59.61] The dynamite too
[01:03.23] Is hooked on the wire
[01:07.85] And so are the rails
[01:11.35] Of American Flyers
[01:12.91]
[01:20.15] Blind boys and gamblers
[01:23.64] They invented the blues
[01:27.89] Will pay up in blood
[01:31.63] When this marker comes due
[01:35.93] To try and get off now
[01:39.43] It's about as insane
[01:44.17] As those who wave lanterns
[01:48.04] At runaway trains
[01:57.65] Steel rails and hard lives
[02:02.27] Are always in twos
[02:05.20] I have been here before this
[02:08.07]
[02:10.23] And now it's with you
[02:22.15] I'm worried about you
[02:25.95] I'm worried about me
[02:30.44] We're lighting the fuses
[02:33.50] And counting to three
[02:38.53] And what are the choices
[02:42.46] For those who remain
[02:46.52] The sign of the cross
[02:50.20] On a runaway train
[02:54.63] This thing has turned into
[02:58.62] A runaway train
[03:02.74] This thing has turned into
[03:06.67] A runaway train
[03:10.79] Our love has turned into
[03:14.72] A runaway train
