7/20/2001 alternate lyrics
see this big eyed fish
swimming in the sea
oh how he dreams to be a bird
swoop and diving through the breeze
so one day 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
look at this man who decided not to breathe
turned red then blue then purple
ah this man was colorful indeed
no matter how his friends begged and pleaded
the man he would not concede
and now he's 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 much brighter on the other side
no way
no way
no way oh
look at this monkey sitting up in his tree
til one day decided to climb down
and run off to the city
but look at the monkey now
tired drunk and sleeping in the streets
as good as dead you see
cause every monkey should know
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 so much brighter on the other side
no way
no way
no way
no way oh

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
