I Choose

Look at me I'm fallin' off of a cliff now

I can still hear my mama yelling No No No

But the words mean nothing. Can't catch up to me now

The view is so beautiful all the way down

When I was a little boy sucking juice from a bottle

Believing my perceptions were oh so real

But I didn't know nothing, still, knowing nothing

Was just enough for me to know the way I feel

Chorus:

This is life

What a fucked up thing we do

What a nightmare come true

Or a playground if we choose, and I choose

Look at me, I'm swollen like a banana fish now

I'm never going to make it, make it out of my hole

But I keep on laughing, doesn't really matter

There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul

When I was a teenager, sucking booze with the Vatos

Discussing who was gonna live to be twenty-one

They said they wouldn't make it; they didn't make it

We're all naked when the day is said and done

chorus

Don't know who made this all come true

But now while you're here you just gotta do what you gotta do

1, 2, 3, 4

Now, if I wasn't such a weenie, do you think you'd still love me?

Pretending I'm an airplane on the living room floor

Like a lovely generator, you stand right by me

And if words were wisdom, I'd be talking even more

So I keep on falling as I'm looking back above me

Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot

Now I'm, I'm like DeNiro, I'm Amarillo

And I'll never know when I hit the ground

Chorus:

This is life

What a fucked up thing we do

What a nightmare come true

Or a playground if we choose, choose, choose,

and I choose
