I was standing in the station |
|
being pounded by the rain |
|
so I chose the last compartment |
|
of a stationary train |
|
felt someone get in behind me |
|
but I never caught their eye |
|
but I thought I heard a woman's voice |
|
whispering goodbye |
|
So I lay down in the darkness |
|
with the beer and coffee stains |
|
and I stared out at the thunder |
|
through the broken window panes |
|
And although the storm was booming |
|
like an engine in the sky |
|
I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb |
|
it's over and done |
|
I'll never be under your thumb forever |
|
So I rolled myself a cigarette |
|
and smoked it on my own |
|
but it didn't stop the whispers |
|
or the smell of her cologne |
|
Then she rose up out of nowhere |
|
and her hair was full of steam |
|
and she stuck her head out the window |
|
and screamed and screamed, she screamed! |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb |
|
it's over and done |
|
I'll never be under your thumb forever |
|
So I picked up an old newspaper to read |
|
and I noticed something very strange indeed |
|
So I looked a little closer |
|
and it chilled me to the bone |
|
"Woman throws herself from speeding train, |
|
identity unknown" |
|
But I recognized the picture of the woman who was dead |
|
and underneath the picture it said |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb |
|
it's over and done |
|
I'll never be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever |
|
Don't wanna be under your thumb |
|
it's over and done |
|
I'll never be under your thumb forever |
