Runaway Train
Runaway train
Never goin' back
Wrong way on a One Way track
Seems like
I should be gettin' somewhere
Right now I'm neither here nor there
by Soul Asylum
(early 1990s ?)
Heard this on the radio this morning while switchin' around.*
Just had to get it out of my head. Ya know...
Have a beauty day eh...
* btw, that coolish, silly, flamin' mouse story? (Trust me. The story is linked to in the post.) not bloody likely. {sigh}
Can you help me remember how to smile?
ReplyDeleteMake 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
Not a bad song to have stuck in your head...
Have much experience with mice, in and out of those glue traps (now proud owner of 2 house cats ;o)) - The flaming mouse story is quite possible - even though the exact details may never be known!
I think I even recall something to the effect that, proceeds from this song went to supporting runaway kids in Seattle (or thereabouts.) And no, I don't mean as in the money went to their Tourism Department. Not really sure now...
ReplyDeleteEither way, the song's still been in there all morning long. Usually I clear one away with another.
And, yah, I think the mouse story could have happened. I just don't think it's very likely in this case because the old guy changed his mind on what happened a couple of times now.
