[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I don't mind the pain
Or the joker's cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly
I count them all again
The silence of a basement
Shades all closed at noon
(Loser gone wild)
Lie awake for fear of strangers

[Verse 2]
Darkness comes on slowly
Twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright
Shadows dance until the light
Empty rooms and chilling smiles, ooh
(Loser gone wild)
They go on for miles and miles

[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down (Oh-oh)
Crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town (Oh-oh)
Where the music is playing all across the night (Oh-oh)
And every cloud disappears from sight (Oh-oh)
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone
There goes another (Loser)
Another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone wild
[Verse 3]
I don't mind if violins don't play
I won't listen to them anyway
I don't care what people say
(Loser gone wild)
Some things just can't be arranged

[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down (Oh-oh)
Crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town (Oh-oh)
Where the music is playing all across the night (Oh-oh)
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone
There goes another (Loser)
Another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone wild

[Guitar Solo]
(Loser)

[Chorus]
But in the evening when the sun goes down (Oh-oh)
Crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town (Oh-oh)
Where the music is playing all across the night (Oh-oh)
And every cloud disappears from sight (Oh-oh)
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone
There goes another (Loser)
Another who's alone
There goes a loser (Loser)
Another loser gone wild
[Verse 4]
Icy fingers are touching you
Silent voices calling, too
What else is there to lose?
(Loser gone wild)
I'm here, but where are you?

[Outro]
(But in the evening when the sun goes down)
(Crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town)
(There goes a loser) Loser, ooh
