Whenever I am stressed out I either paint or play guitar. Today was a guitar day. I thought I'd share the lyrics to one of the songs with you all.
Runaway Train
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch 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
*
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 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 drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
*
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
*
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
*
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
*

The song brings back memories. Soul Assylum perhaps 1993 or 94, or something? Not too sure, but a great song when you're by yourself and just thinking.
Going to see the Cure tomorrow. Nothing like some depressing music to make one feel better.

You should set your cpu up to download music files Frenchy. It is a nice song. Was overplayed beyond reason here, but nonetheless it still is nice to hear now and again.
