Autumn's tearin' me apart
  I entered a race that I can't start
  They told me if I move that I could fall
  But I think I'll stay in my Shangrala
  
  That's the story of my life (yeah)
  Another day goes drifting by (away)
  Oh I can live but I won't lie (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 to myself it makes me ill
  
  That's the story of my life (yeah)
  Another junkie in the sky (yeah)
  I can live but I won't lie (no)
  That's the story of my life
  
  Buried myself in the desert sands
  Cuz 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 and lonely night
  
  That's the story of my life (yeah)
  Another day goes driftin' by (away)
  I can live but I won't lie (oh yeah)
  That's the story of my life
