Electric Light Orchestra — Loser Gone Wild

[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 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 (and miles, and miles, miles, miles) [Chorus] But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows, gotta 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 another (Loser), another who's alone There goes a loser (Loser), another loser 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 (Loser gone wild) Some things just can't be arranged [Chorus] But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town Where the music is playing all across the night 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows, gotta 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 another (Loser), another who's alone There goes a loser (Loser), another loser gone wild [Verse 3] 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 I crawl from the shadows, gotta get into town) (There goes a loser) Loser
