I saw the fire
I heard them say
They would go on dancin' there till the breakin' of the day
Losers and lovers
Lookin' for a reason to be glad
Down inside the forest
Stumbled on a crowd
Caravans with purple wheels and the people shouting loud
Losers and lovers
Are getting mad
The world is going mad
Thought it was over
Paid myself to rest
Underneath the warm September sky
They're reminiscing
But all the years before me
The losers and the lovers passed me by
I pulled down the branches to make myself a bed
Then if it should rain
Then I'd be dry
I've got my visions
So let them all ignore me
The losers and the lovers, that's the lie
My mind, it was heavy
My feelings, they are dim
I began to doubt if they were there or have they been
There are no more caravans
And I am here alone with aching bones
Thought it was over
Laid myself to rest
Underneath the warm September sky
They're reminiscing on all the years before me
The losers and the lovers passing by
Ah
