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
 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 didn't know nothing, still, knowing nothin'
 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 bananafish 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 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
 One, two, three, four
 ♪
 Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah-ooh
 ♪
 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 (dot)
 Now I'm, I'm like De Niro, I'm Amarillo
 And I'll never know when I hit the ground
 This is life
 What a fucked-up thing we do
 What a nightmare come true
 Or a playground, if we choose
 Said I choose
 Said I choose
 And I choose
