Runaway Mane

soul.jpgHey Seattle, guess what!

To celebrate the 99th birthday of Pike Place Market... [drum roll please].............. Soul Asylum is playing a free concert at noon today, outside on the cobblestones!

"Holy Shit!"

Holy shit is right people! Holy shit indeed.

Seattlest can't contain ourselves. Our excitement is simply overwhelming and -- oh! -- we just peed a little.

To show our unrivaled enthusiasm, we're heading straight down there at lunchy-time to throw fresh-caught Alaskan salmon at them. -Because that'd be so Pike Place Market.

"Hey! Stop throwing fish at us!"

"That's what we do here! It means that we like you!"

"But it hurts and it's gross!"

"Shut up and sing! Play Runaway Train!"

Oh man, we can't wait.

On an eyebrow-raising, inquiring-minds-want-to-know kind of note, Soul Asylum do have a new album out -- The Silver Lining -- and respectable record stores are stocking their shelves with it, which has Seattlest wondering, "Is it any good?"

Let us know Seattle! -Before we commence with our lunch-time assault.

    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



    CHORUS

    Runaway train never going back

    Wrong way on a one way track

    Seems like I should be getting somewhere

    Somehow I'm neither here no 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



    CHORUS



    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
