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

"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 die?
