Runaway Train Lyrics by Glenn Kaiser

0

Saw smokestack lightnin'
Heard clickety-clack
Lord, it was frightenin'
Comin' down that track
How I went runnin'
Took the short way home
That train man gunnin'
Off his iron throne

Oh, blowin' in the night
Eyes wide open
Sin in broad daylight
Swallow, till you're chokin'

Sowed all the oats
Up came the wheat
I thought I smelled sulfur
From all my deeds
I wanted pleasure
Didn't worry how
Up came the mirror
Out came a howl

It came at daybreak
That darkness fled
I heard the whistle inside my head
Roared right through town
Like the 6:15
Straight down that track
Like I had never seen

Sun rose like lightnin'
An' roun' my brain
Saw some kinda shadow
Leave the rails
I wanted pleasure
Didn't worroy how
Up came the mirror
Out came a howl
Roared right through town
Like the 6:15
Straight down that track
Like I had never seen
Jus' like a runaway train
