I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But Heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job and then I found a job

And Heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die

Two lovers entwined pass me by

And Heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job and then I found a job

And Heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life oh why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die

What she asked of me at the end of the day

Caligula would have blushed

"Oh you've been in the house too long" she said

And I naturally fled

In my life why do I smile

At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But Heaven knows I'm miserable now

"Oh you've been in the house too long" she said

And I naturally fled

In my life oh why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die
