look at this big eyed fish
floating in the sea
one day wants to be a bird
swoop and dive on through the breeze
so she catch a big gold wave up onto the beach
and now shes dead you see
a fish should know you gotta stay in the sea

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

the story of a little bitty baby
is crying don't you see
decided one day
the baby did not want to breathe
turned red and blue then colorful
so colorful the baby indeed
but now it's dead you see
a baby knows one thing
you 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 brighter on the other side

no way
no way
one way out of here

now this monkey sitting up in his tree
decide one day he got to climb down
and run off to the city
but look at him now
drunk and tired sleeping in the street
as good as dead you see
a monkey should know
stay up in 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 brighter on the other side

no way
no way
no way
one way out of here

oh the weight of life
under the weight of life
under the weight
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
