5. Runaway Train
so, tell me what it's all about,
'cause I fell of the path today.
mixed thoughts bottled up inside,
explode out of a dangerous mind.
and there's no time to change or choose,
when you're tied down to the tracks of truth.
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
I could not see the turn in time,
why didn't I take it slow?
I guess I had to be alone
to finally figure out where's home.
and if you're tied the same as me,
I'll pray someday that you'll break free.
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
welcome to the runaway train!
if you're brainsick today,
soul school starts at nine.
here you'll learn to speak in rhymes,
unlock your mastermind,
unleash the art inside.
wake my child,
get off this ride!
wake my child,
get off this ride!
wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up,
you've been locked inside!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train so insane!
lord knows, for years I've stayed
tied down to these tracks of mind...
it's kept me numb inside...
and if I die before I wake,
I gave all I've got today,
and if I wake before I die,
I'll take you on another ride...
'cause I fell of the path today.
mixed thoughts bottled up inside,
explode out of a dangerous mind.
and there's no time to change or choose,
when you're tied down to the tracks of truth.
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
I could not see the turn in time,
why didn't I take it slow?
I guess I had to be alone
to finally figure out where's home.
and if you're tied the same as me,
I'll pray someday that you'll break free.
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
welcome to the runaway train!
if you're brainsick today,
soul school starts at nine.
here you'll learn to speak in rhymes,
unlock your mastermind,
unleash the art inside.
wake my child,
get off this ride!
wake my child,
get off this ride!
wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up,
you've been locked inside!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train...
a runaway train!
you're on a runaway train so insane!
lord knows, for years I've stayed
tied down to these tracks of mind...
it's kept me numb inside...
and if I die before I wake,
I gave all I've got today,
and if I wake before I die,
I'll take you on another ride...
