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, true!
