I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable nowI was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable nowIn 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 nowI was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable nowIn 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 fledIn 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 fledIn my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
