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 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
