Big Eyed Fish - Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO - July 2001

Look at this big eyed fish swimming in the sea, oh
How it dreams to be a bird, swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day, caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now the fish is dead, you see
'Cause fish should know to stay down in the sea

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

The story of this man who decided not to breathe
He turned red and 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 you got to breathe

But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem much brighter on the other side

No way, no way
No way out of here

You see there's a monkey sitting up in his tree
Until one day he decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him, tired and drunk, the monkey's living in the street
As good as dead, you see
'Cause every monkey should know, stay up in your fuckin' tree

But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much brighter on the other side
Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem much brighter on the other side

No way, no way, no way
No way out of here
