Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now 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 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?

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?
