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
