Your Life Song....

    There are songs that we all think about and remember a certain time/moment. Right now the song Runaway Train is my song - this is how I've been feeling over the last year...

    Call you up in the middle of the night
    Like a firefly without a light
    You were there like a slow torch burning
    I was a key that could use a little turning

    So tired that I couldn't even sleep
    So many secrets I couldn't keep
    Promised myself I wouldn't weep
    One more promise I couldn't keep

    It seems no one can help me now
    I'm in too deep
    There's no way out
    This time I have really led myself astray

    CHORUS
    Runaway train never going back
    Wrong way on a one way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there

    Can you help me remember how to smile
    Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
    How on earth did I get so jaded
    Life's mystery seems so faded

    I can go where no one else can go
    I know what no one else knows
    Here I am just drownin' in the rain
    With a ticket for a runaway train

    Everything is cut and dry
    Day and night, earth and sky
    Somehow I just don't believe it

    CHORUS

    Bought a ticket for a runaway train
    Like a madman laughin' at the rain
    Little out of touch, little insane
    Just easier than dealing with the pain

    Runaway train never comin' back
    Runaway train tearin' up the track
    Runaway train burnin' in my veins
    Runaway but it always seems the same

    LouBelle,

    Your song fits my life right now too. So does this one, and it keeps the railroad theme:

    "Crazy Train"

    [Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads]

    All aboard! Hahaha

    Crazy, but that's how it goes
    Millions of people living as foes
    Maybe. it's not too late
    To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

    Mental wounds not healing
    Life's a bitter shame
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

    I've listened to preachers,
    I've listened to fools
    I've watched all the dropouts
    Who make their own rules
    One person conditioned to rule and control
    The media sells it and you live the role

    Mental wounds still screaming
    Driving me insane
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

    I know that things are going wrong for me
    You gotta listen to my words

    Heirs of a cold war,
    that's what we've become
    Inheriting troubles,
    I'm mentally numb
    Crazy, I just cannot bear
    I'm living with something that just isn't fair

    Mental wounds not healing
    Who and what's to blame
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

    O.K. This one's sort of my life story, as well as coming from one of the greatest albums ever: Live's 'Birds of Pray':

    RIVER TOWN

    And from a tiny river town you came
    With Mamma's rock star dreams in tow and Daddy's brains
    But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail
    With the way they rigged this game you had to fail
    But that's all behind you now, boy

    And from a tiny river town you came
    With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace
    They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will
    You were the soldier without a kill
    You were the soldier without a kill

    Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
    Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

    And from a tiny river town you came
    Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
    But paradise took you out and left the bill
    You were the healer without the thrill
    You were the ecstasy without the pill

    Woh, who's gonna save your soul?
    Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

    Who's gonna light up your dark?
    Who's gonna save your soul?
    Who's gonna be there?
    Who's gonna light up your dark?

    And from a tiny river town you came
    With Mamma's rock star dreams in tow and Daddy's brains
    You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
    These desert nights are for weathered men
    The ones who've already given in

    Woh, who's gonna save your soul?
    Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
    Who's gonna save your soul?

    Now that you've given in
    Now that you've given in
    Now that you've given in

    Metric - Breathing Underwater

    I'm the blade, you're a knife I'm the weight, you're the kite They were right when they said We were breathing underwater Out of place all the time In a world that wasn't mine to take; I'll wait Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? I'm a blade, you're the knife I'm a weight, you're the kite They were right when they said We should never meet our heroes When they bowed at their feet In the end it wasn't me Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? Nights are days We beat a path through the mirrored maze I can see the end Ahhh But it hasn't happened yet I can see the end Ahhh But it hasn't happened yet Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Ahhh Am I breathing underwater? Am I breathing underwater? Am I breathing underwater? More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/metric/
