[Verse 1]
I don't mind the pain or the joker's cold refrain
The days pa** by so slowly, I count them all again
The silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon (Loser gone wild)
I lie awake for fear of strangers
Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burnin' bright, shadows dance until the night
Empty rooms and chilling smiles, ooh (Loser gone wild)
They go on for miles and miles, miles, miles, miles, miles (Ha ha ha ha ha)
[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down
I crawl from the shadows, got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser (Loser), another loser gone
There goes a loser (Loser), another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser), another lose gone wild
[Verse 2]
I don't mind if violins don't play
I won't listen to them anyway
I don't care what people say
Some things just can't be arranged
[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down
I crawl from the shadows, got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser (Loser), another loser gone
There goes a loser (Loser), another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser), another loser gone wild
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down
I crawl from the shadows, got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser (Loser), another loser gone
There goes a loser (Loser), another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser), another lose gone wild
[Verse 3]
Icy fingers touching you
Silent voices calling, too
What else is there to lose?
I'm here, but where are you?
[Outro]
(Scatting)
(But in the evening when the sun goes down
I crawl from the shadows, got to get into town)
(There goes a loser)
Loser
