Electric Light Orchestra - Loser Gone Wild Lyrics

I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon
Lie awake for fear of strangers

Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night
Empty rooms and chilling smiles
They go on for miles and miles

But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playin' all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight

There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild

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
Icy fingers touching you
Silent voices calling too
What else is there to lose
I am here but where are you?

But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playin' all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
