The Story of My Life by Pere Ubu Lyrics
I was born in Miami Florida in 1953
First thing I did was crack the back of my head on the floor
I stepped on a bee when I was four
I slammed the door of a `57 Chevy on my hand when I was six
Little did I know that darker clouds were gathering on the horizon of my life
That's the story
That's the story of my life
Later on
Messing around in the backyard
I was nine
I stumbled onto the secret of Anti-Gravity
It's such a simple trick I said to myself
I hope I can remember
Instinctively I knew that trouble was bound to come
That's the story of my life
Still later I met a girl named Sue
Only daughter of the football coach
I liked her
I think she liked me
Her family moved to Toronto
Naively I said to myself
Why that's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
First thing I did was crack the back of my head on the floor
I stepped on a bee when I was four
I slammed the door of a `57 Chevy on my hand when I was six
Little did I know that darker clouds were gathering on the horizon of my life
That's the story
That's the story of my life
Later on
Messing around in the backyard
I was nine
I stumbled onto the secret of Anti-Gravity
It's such a simple trick I said to myself
I hope I can remember
Instinctively I knew that trouble was bound to come
That's the story of my life
Still later I met a girl named Sue
Only daughter of the football coach
I liked her
I think she liked me
Her family moved to Toronto
Naively I said to myself
Why that's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
