Big Eyed Fish

Dave Matthews Band · Busted Stuff [2002]

Look at this big eyed fish swimming in the sea, oh

How it dreams to be a bird

Swooping, diving through the breeze

So one day, caught a big old wave

Up onto the beach

Now it's dead, you see

Beneath the sea is where a fish should be



But, oh God, under the weight of life

Things seem brighter on the other side



You see, this crazy man decided not to breathe

He turned red and blue, purple

Colorful indeed

No matter how his friends begged and pleaded

The man would not concede

And nows he's dead you see

The silly man should know you 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



See the little monkey, sittin' up in his monkey tree

One day decided to climb down and run off to the city

But look at him now, lost and tired

Living in the street

As good as dead you see

What a monkey does, stay up your tree



But, oh God, under the weight of life

Things seem brighter on the other side

Oh God, 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



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



But, oh god

Under the weight of life

Things seem brighter on the other side



No way, no way

No way out of here
