| I found a shadow in my heart, the desecration of my soul |
| I thought I’d find some paradise down south |
| But then I slipped into the blackest hole, |
| It was a vision and a dream, it was a vision of deceit |
| I thought I saw but I was blind |
| The victim of a reverie |
| But it was always the same for me |
| It was always the same for me |
| Misery, Misery Me |
| The angels dance around me singing |
| Misery me, O Misery sweet |
| The things you love will make you weep |
| O Misery, Misery Me |
| I paint the light of the sky, |
| I turned to shade, I turned to stone |
| I took the dark and lonely road |
| I thought I’d find some paradise out West |
| But then I sailed into the storm, |
| It was a vision and a dream, it was a vision of deceit |
| I thought I saw but I was blind |
| The victim of a memory, |
| O if you look in your heart, if you look in your heart |
| What do you find? |
| O if you look in the heart, if you look in my heart |
| What do you find, most of the time? |
