Look at this big eyed fish swimmin in the sea
Oh, how he dreams to be a bird, swooping, diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up onto the beach
Now he'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 then blue, purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded
The man would not concede
And now he's dead, you see
The silly man should know you got to breathe
But oh God, under the weight of life
Things seem so 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
Look at him now, lost and tired, livin in the street
As good as dead, you see
Do 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 out of here
