big eyed fish

Dave Matthews Band

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've 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 ran off to the city
Look at him now, tired and drunk and living 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 brighter on the other side

No way
No way
No way out

Another one, a big eyed fish, yeah, swiming in the sea
How he dreamed, he wants to be a bird swooping diving through thebreeze
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
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

No way
No way
No way out

No way out
