Last week's Secret Theme questions

Last week the Ray's Secret Theme was only the second one ever that no team figured out. Can you guess the theme? The three top teams at Frank's nailed their respective Secret Theme, which was quite impressive as I thought that was a tough one.

3) Which Simon & Garfunkel song contains the line In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared?
