Big Eyed Fish Lyrics

Story of a man who decided not to breathe
Turned red, purple, then blue colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged
Well, he would not concede
And now he's dead, you see
'Cause everybody knows you got to breathe
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Lighter on the other side
Another one, see this monkey
Sitting in his tree, one day
Decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now: tired and drunk
Livin' in the street
As good as dead, you see
A monkey should know stay up your tree
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh, God
But, under the weight of life
Things seem much lighter on the other side
No way
No way
No way out... of...here
Another one, a big eyed fish, yeah, swimmin' in the sea
Oh, how it dreams, it wants to be a bird, swoopin',
divin' through the breeze
One day, caught a big blue wave up onto the beach
Now, he's, dead, you see
A fish's dreams should stay in the sea
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God
Put under the weight of life
Things seem much brighter on the other side
No way
No way
No way out... of... here
(instrumental interlude)
No... way... out... of... here
No way out of life
