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?
