Runaway Train Lyrics

Cover art for Runaway Train lyrics by Brandon Boyd

In his CD booklet, Brandon says its about a "theortical menage a trois", which is a relationship/sexual act between three people; the song is about his indecision to jump in.

The future and calamity are being personified to be involved in a threesome with Brandon, but this is much more than a song about sexual exploration. I'd guess ol' B had that covered 15 years ago.
