Lyrics

There's a big eyed fish swimmin in the sea
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird
Swoop and dive through the breeze
So one day, caught this big old wave up onto the beach
Now the fish is dead you see
Cause fish should know stay down in the sea

But oh god
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

Story of this man who decided not to breathe
He turned red, then blue, then purple so colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded
He would not concede
Now the man is dead you see
Cause every man should know yah 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

Yah see this monkey sitting up in his tree
Until one day
Decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now tired and drunk
The monkey's livin in the street
As good as dead, you see
Cause every monkey should know stay up your fuckin 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 so much better on the other side

No way
No way
No way
No way
No way out of here
