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
