Dave Matthews Band And Dave Matthews Big Eyed Fish Lyrics

Big Eyed Fish Lyrics

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
