Lyrics for Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

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?
