The train will soon be leaving And the man says 'all aboard' But you never leave the platform And you never cut the cord Most days you think of leaving But he'll always talk you round His words will talk you into silence And his arms will hold you down You need so much to leave him But there's no one you can phone There's no ticket in your pocket And you've no money of your own Sometimes he tells you that you're stupid Sometimes he tells you that you're ill You dream of breaking free And yet you don't believe you will He knows just where you are Every moment of the day He hears the thoughts inside your head He owns the very words you say He says that you're his lover And that's all you'll ever be But you know he's your jailer And he'll never set you free Sometimes he'll loosen your shackles But you're locked inside his head And you've never found the way To leave his arms or leave his bed There's nowhere you can go And there's nothing you can say Because he knows you'll never leave him And that's exactly why you stay The train will soon be leaving And the man says 'all aboard' But you never leave the platform And you never pull the cord
