    第一次聽到這首歌,是在我小學五年級左右,家裡剛裝第四台,大人不在、厭倦任天堂的時候,27吋螢幕被剛學英文的老姐強制停留在channel【 V 】,也因此意外的接觸了西洋樂。

    當時還蠻小的,我完全不知道歌詞在唱些什麼,只是被歌聲中深沉悲哀打動了,曲調到現在我長大了,還都不能忘。

    先前曾有意無意的找過,但是一直沒有找到,前幾天在youtube很突然的看到這首歌的mtv,一聽就知道是這首歌,沒想到隔了這十幾年的時間再聽,感受還是一樣強烈,甚至再看了歌詞後,更有感覺呢。

    而這MV也非常驚人,一開始便告訴你:有百萬名青少年在美國的街頭消失。一開始我以為是青少年離家出走這一類的,但是其實他要說的是兒童綁架在美國的氾濫,許多孩子(青少年)被冷血無情的大人誘騙、強行帶走、姦殺......,第一個映入腦中的是尼可拉斯凱吉的電影八釐米,沉重到不行,也讓我連作了幾天惡夢。

    這幾天會很頻繁的聽這首歌,因為我想---再多聽幾次,我就不會再為這首歌、為這MV落淚了。

Artist: Soul Asylum
Song: Runaway Train

Called 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
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 worth while
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so dated

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
here I am just drowning 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


Chorus
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughing at the rain
a little out of touch, little insane
it's just easier than dealing with the pain

Chorus
Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train is tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins,
Runaway
but it always seems the same
