electric light orchestra
loser gone wild [*]
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
