Lyrics

 In an airplane, I was flying
  Just a flight attendant guy
  I can be clumsy, and I stumbled
  Out the door into the sky
  Now I am falling through the air
  Wind and regret flow through my hair
  All I can do right now is stare down at the ocean
  
  Suddenly, there’s a ring in my cell phone. I pick it up
  It's the Angel of Death, and he says 'Wazzup?'
  I say, 'What is it this time?'
  And he's like, 'Well, hello, goodbye, I'll see you in hell.'
  He can be like that sometimes, he's such a nut
  So I snicker and say, 'I'd love to, but
  Gravity's calling, I've got some falling to do.'
  
  I'm in a state of shock, but it's something new
  I guess it all depends on your point of view. It's true
  
  This is boring. Yes I'm falling
  But it's taking quite a while
  My destination is impending
  Might as well go out in style
  I put my arms out to the skies
  Whistle a tune and close my eyes
  Trying to briefly realize perpetual motion
  
  Suddenly, giant tentacles rise from the open sea
  And with total precision they lasso me
  It's a monstrous squid and he saved my life
  But I am too freaked out to be nice
  So I tell him the truth, that I'd rather fall
  No offense but at least it's predictable
  Gotta stop stalling, I've got some falling to do
  
  I'm probably gonna die, but it's something new
  I guess it all depends on your point of view. It's true
