[Verse 1] 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 womans voice Whispering goodbye [Verse 2] 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 Im sure I heard a womans voice cry [Chorus] Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb Its over and done Ill never be under your thumb forever [Verse 3] So I rolled myself a cigarette And smoked it on my own But it didnt 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 [Chorus] Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb Its over and done Ill never be under your thumb forever [Bridge] So I picked up an old newspaper to read And I noticed something very strange indeed [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb Its over and done Ill never be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb forever Dont wanna be under your thumb Its over and done Ill never be under your thumb forever [Outro] And ever Forever
