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
 And the view is so beautiful
 All the way down
 When I was a little boy
 Suckin' juice from a bottle
 Believing my perceptions were oh so real
 But I don't know nothing
 Still knowing nothing
 Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
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 gonna 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
 Suckin' booze with the Vatos
 Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
 They said they wouldn't make it
 They didn't make it
 We're all naked when the day is said and done
This  is life
 What a fucked up thing we do
 What a nightmare come true
 Or a playground if we choose
 And I choose
Don't  know who made  this all come  true
 But now while you're here
 You just gotta do what you gotta do
 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
 But 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 like DeNiro
 I'm amarillo
 And I'll never know when I hit the ground

[D]Look at me I'm fallin' [F]Off of a [G]cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling No No No
But the words mean nothing
Can't catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real

Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now I'm like DeNiro
