Lyrics:

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, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care
If I live or I 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 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
'Oh, you've been in the house too long,' she said
And I naturally fled

In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care
If I live or I die?
