I can't stay, now I have to get away, right into the storm
Leaving all the ones I love, bags are packed, getting out the door
What is hidden out there, I don't know
Like a new world rising of ice and snow

I can't play with those kind of cards you gave me right from the start
A brand new deal is what I need, a powerful hand and a tool to succeed
I'm just about to enter an open door
A long life behind me, not knowing what's in store

Nothing ever stays the same
Living like a runaway train
Got no time to feel the pain
The world is going to change again
Nothing but a runaway train
Nothing ever stays the same

A damp light before my eyes, I don't know which direction I shall go
Like the hand of fate was touching me, pointing west towards the gold
A secret society, machine or man
I feel this turn is mine, I have the upper hand

Nothing ever stays the same
Living like a runaway train
Got no time to feel the pain
The world is going to change again
Nothing but a runaway train
Nothing ever stays the same
