The Story of My Life

Pere Ubu

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
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
That's the story
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!
"David!"
That's the story of my life
"DAVID!"
