I was standing in the station
Being pounded by the rain
So I sought the last compartment

Of a stationary train
I felt someone get in behind me
But I never caught their eye

But I thought I heard 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
