Lyrics[]
Boredom's tearing me apart I entered a race that I can't start They told me if I move that I'd go too far But I think I'll stay in my shangri-la That's the story of my life (yeah) Another day goes drifting by (away) Now I can't live, but I won't die (no) That's the story of my life Oh I just barely stay afloat I'm too scared to rock the boat But when I wake is when I feel (I feel) I think of myself, it makes me ill That's the story of my life (yeah) Another junkie in the sky (oh yeah) I can't live, but I won't die (no) That's the story of my life Bury myself in the desert sands 'cause I don't care for the world's demands But at the end of the day I think I'll be alright (alright) Hope I can make it through another long, lonely night That's the story of my life (yeah) Another day goes drifting by (no) I can't live, but I won't die (oh no) That's the story of my life
