"Runaway Train" lyrics

I'm worried about you and I'm worried about me
The curves around midnight aren't easy to see
The flashing red warnings unseen in the rain
This thing has turned into a runaway train

The long distance phone calls, there's a voice on the line
Electrical miles that soften the time
And dynamite too is hooked on the wire
And so are the rails of American Flyers

Blind boys and gamblers, they invented the blues
Will pay up in blood when this marker comes due
To try and get off now, it's about as insane
As those who wave lanterns at runaway trains
This thing has turned into a runaway train

Oh, steel rails and hard lives they are always in twos
And I have been here before this, now it's with you

And I'm worried about you and I'm worried about me
We're lighting the fuses and counting to three
What are the choices for those who remain?
The sign of the cross on a runaway train

This thing has turned into a runaway train
This thing has turned into a runaway train
And our love has turned into a runaway train
A runaway train
Yeah, a runaway train
A runaway train
Yeah, a runaway train
