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 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 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?
