Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel - Runaway Train

Chip on your shoulder

Fish out of water

Live with the choices you make


Give up the ghost

When you need it most

A chance that you’ve got to take

Ball and chain

Fire and rain

Nothing ventured nothing gained


Late night rider

Back seat driver

Roll with the rhythm of the rain 



Time is slipping through your fingers

Just like water down the drain

Life is rolling down the track

Get off that runaway train

Hold your head up 

Drink from the cup

Keep the wolf from your door


You are what you eat

So get with the beat

Right on the two and the four

Talk the talk

Walk the walk 

It’s just a figure of speech

Sick sense of humour

Barefaced consumer 

Now to practice what you preach

Time is slipping through your fingers

Just like water down the drain

Life is rolling down the track

Get off that runaway train
