I've Got Some Falling To Do

(앨범: Almanac 2009 - 2009)

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
