Oh, my misery is a mysterySheâs my mistress when sheâs with meAnd I miss her when sheâs historyOh, my misery is a mysteryOh, mysterious deliriousWhy is happiness so furious?And it is tiring to be curiousMy euphoria is dangerousOh, how glorious to sleepIn between our raging daysItâs the sweetest reliefHoly moses, life is rosesJust be vary of the processGive it water in small dosesAnd cut it down when itâs ferociousOh, my misery is a mysterySheâs my mistress when sheâs with meAnd I miss her when sheâs historyOh, my misery is a mystery
