I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heavens 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
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
"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
"You've been in the house too long"
She said
And I naturally fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To poeple who don't care if I live or die
