Runaway Train — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of C, 120 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
Call you up in the mid dle of the night,
like a fi re fly with out a light.
You were there like a blow torch burn ing.
I was a key that could use a lit tle turn ing So can tired that I could n’t e ven sleep,
so man y se crets I could n’t keep.
Prom ised my self drown I in’ would n’t weep.
One a more et prom ise I could n’t keep.
It seems no one can help me now.
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out.
This time I have real ly led my self a stray.
Run a way train nev er go ing back.
Wrong way on a one way track.
Seems like I should be get ting some where.
Some how I’m nei ther here nor there.
Can you help me re mem ber how to smile?
Make it some how all with seem worth while.
How on earth did I get so jad ed?
I Life’s a mys ter y seems a so tle fad ed.
I can go where I no one else can go.
I know y what crets no one else knows.
Here I am just drown I in’ in the rain
with a tick et for a run a way train.
And ev ’ry thing seems cut and dry; day and night, earth and sky.
Some how I real just don’t be lieve it.
