Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Big Eyed Fish (Lillywhite Sessions) Lyrics

Story of a man

Who decided not to breath

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

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 lighter on the other side



No way...

No way...

No way...

Out...

Of here...



Another one:

A Big Eyed Fish

Yeah, swimming in the sea

Oh, how he dreamed

He wants to be a bird

Swooping, diving through the breeze

One day

He caught a big blue wave

Up onto the beach

And now he's dead

You see, a fish's dream

Should stay in the sea



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...

Out...

Of Here...



No way out of here...

No way out of life...
