Oh, my misery is a mystery

She's my mistress when she's with me

And i miss her when she's history

Oh, my misery is a mystery


Oh, mysterious delirious

Why is happiness so furious?

And it is tiring to be curious

My euphoria is dangerous


Oh, how glorious to sleep

In between our raging days

It's the sweetest relief


Holy moses, life is roses

Just be vary of the process

Give it water in small doses

And cut it down when it's ferocious


Oh, my misery is a mystery

She's my mistress when she's with me

And i miss her when she's history

Oh, my misery is a mystery
