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
