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?

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?
