Runaway Train Songtext
von Gutter Brothers

Well, on and on, out of control
Rolling stock on a roll
Metal on metal, sparks fly high
Burning up trees as it passes by
Signal man don′t know what to do
He waves his flag and a lantern, too
Pulls the switch, but it ain't no use
This train ain′t stopping, it's coming on through

Sometimes I feel like a runaway train
Well, I got a head full of steam, but my whistle stack is blown
One-way ride to the great unknown
Sometimes I feel like a runaway train
Like a runaway train


On and on, going down the line
This runaway train gonna be on time
Well, you better stand back from platform one
We're picking up speed like a bullet from a gun
The signal change to red from green
There ain′t no stopping this runaway train
Got a mind of its own and it′s on the loose
The engines and the boxcars and the whole goddamn caboose

Sometimes I feel like a runaway train
Well, I got a head full of steam, but my whistle stack is blown
One-way ride to the great unknown
Sometimes I feel like a runaway

Choo-choo-choo and a clackity-clack
It's just a matter of time ′fore we run out of track
You better clang on that claxon and ring out all them bells
I got a hundred-ton of loco and it's going off the rails

Signal flare like a shooting star
If that don′t work, then there ain't no more
But the warning shot has come too late
So save this runaway train from a twisted, mangled fate

Sometimes I feel like a runaway train
Well, I got a fire in my belly, but my smoke stack is blown
Heading for collision with the buffer zone
Sometimes I feel like a runaway train
I got a head full of steam, but my whistle stack is blown
One-way ride to the great unknown
Sometimes I feel like a runaway train


Like a runaway train
Like a, like a, like a, like a runaway train

Like a runaway train
