Elvish Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Try "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum. It was a pretty popular song about 10 years ago. Here are the lyrics: Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch 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 I 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 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 a-drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dry, Day and night, earth and sky, Somehow I just don't believe it 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 Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain 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 Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same It seems like the video flashed pictures and information about missing kids, but it's been so long that I don't remember exactly. Maybe someone else does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 This is the first song that popped in my head. Anyone remember seeing a young Bon Jovi singing this on American Bandstand? :: -Runaway- On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives They?re made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes All your life all you?ve asked when?s your daddy gonna talk to you You were living in another world tryin? to get your message through. No one heard a single word you said. They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart. Chorus: Ooh, she?s a little runaway. Daddy?s girl learned fast All those things he couldn?t say. Ooh, she?s a little runaway. A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time So you sit home alone ?cause there?s nothing left that you can do There?s only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon broadway signs She don?t really mind, it?s only love she hoped to find Repeat chorus No one heard a single word she said They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart Ooh, she?s a little runaway Daddy?s girl learned fast All those things he couldn?t say Ooh, she?s a little runaway Daddy?s girl learned fast Now she works the night away Ooh, she?s a little runaway Daddy?s girl learned fast All those things he couldn?t say Ooh, she?s a little runaway Daddy?s girl learned fast Now she was the night away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think jonesin66 might have been talking about "What It's Like"...check out the 2nd verse... What It's Like Everlast We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes Get a job you f***in' slob's all he replied [CHORUS] God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues Then you really might know what it's like [X4] Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call And she sweared g*d damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore [CHORUS] God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose Then you really might know what it's like [X4] I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin I've seen a tough man cry I've seen a loser win And a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie I've seen the good side of bad And the down side of up And everything between I licked the silver spoon Drank from the golden cup Smoked the finest green I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times Before I broke their heart You know where it ends Yo, it usually depends on where you start I knew this kid named Max He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs He liked to hang out late at night Liked to get sh*t faced And keep pace with thugs Until late one night there was a big gun fight Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45 Talked some sh*t And wound up dead Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain You know it crumbles that way At least that's what they say when you play the game [CHORUS] God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose Then you really might know what it's like [X4] To have to lose...
