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



Chorus: 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?



Chorus
