RUNAWAY TRAIN

Clapton Eric

by Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and Olle Romo

There's a hungry road that with lonely hopes
Gonna eat me up inside
There's a drifting spirit coming clean
In the eye of a lifelong fire
Tell Monday I'll be around next week
I'm running ahead of my days
In the shotgun chance that scattered us
I've seen the error of my ways

Ohhh Ohhhhh
Ohhh Ohhhhh

Well we've wrapped ourselves with golden crowns
Like sun gods spitting rain
Found a way home written on this map
Like red dye in my veins
In the hardest towns that come around
The fear of losing rose
I've lost and seen the world shut down
It's a darkness no one knows

Ohhh Ohhhhh
Ohhh Ohhhhh

And I've pulled out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
Standing in a station waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a runaway train
I'm out of control,  It's out of my hands
I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land
Trying to get a grip on my life again
I feel it's harder than a runaway train

Ohhh Ohhhhh
Mmmm Mmmmmm

And I've pulled out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
I'm standing in a station waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a runaway train
Well I'm out of control, it's out of my hands
I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land
I'm trying to get a grip on my life again
I feel it's harder than a runaway train

And I've pulled out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
I'm standing in a station waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a runaway train

Yeahhhh Yeah
