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

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