Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at me, I'm falling off 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
[Verse 2]
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 know 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
[Verse 3]
Look at me, I'm swollen like a banana fish now
I'm never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing, doesn't really matter
There's dozens other reasons for explaining my soul
[Verse 4]
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]
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
[Verse 5]
Don't know who made this all come true
Now, while you're here, just gotta do
What you gotta do
One, two, three, four
[Refrain]
Ooh-whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 De Niro, 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
Say it, choose
Say it, choose
Now I choose
