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   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 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 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
