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
