look at this big eyed fish
swimming in the sea
oh oh wants to be a bird
swooping diving through the breeze
one day he caught a big old wave
up onto the beach
now the fish is dead you see
'cause every fish should know stay in the sea

but oh god under the weight of life
things seem brighter on the other side

well look at this man one day decided not to breathe
oh he turned red then blue oh purple
colorful indeed
no no matter how his friends
they would beg and they would plead
he would not dead you see
'cause every man should know you got to breathe

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 so much brighter on the other side

no way [scatting]
no way [scatting]
no way out of here

look at this monkey sitting up in the tree
one day decides he want to climb on down
and run off to the city
well look at him now
tired and drunk almost all running in the street
as good as dead you see
'cause my dear little monkey
stay up in your fucking 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 brighter on the other side

no way, ah yea
no way, ah yea
no way [scatting]
no way out of here
Big Eyed Fish
main lyrics
Look at this big-eyed fish swimming in the sea
oh, how he dreams to be a bird, swooping, diving through the breeze
so one day, caught a big old wave up onto the beach
now he's dead, you see—beneath the sea is where a fish should be

But oh, god, under the weight of life
things seem brighter on the other side

You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
he turned red, then blue, purple, colorful indeed
no matter how his friends begged and pleaded, the man would not concede
and now he's dead, you see—the silly man should know you got to breathe

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 so much better on the other side

No way, no way, no way out of here

See the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
one day decided to climb down, run off to the city
but look at him now, lost and tired, living in the street
as good as dead you see
do what a monkey does, stay up your tree

But oh God, under the weight of life
things seem brighter on the other side
oh God, under the weight of life
things seem so much better on the other side

No way, no way, no way, no way out of here

Rain on my love, rain in my dreams, my love, dream, oh, rain out
oh god, under the weight of life
things seem brighter on the other side
rain in my dreams, rain in my dreams, rain in my--
brighter on the other side
oh god, under the weight of life
rain in my dreams, rain in my
oh way, oh way, oh way, oh way
