Big Eyed Fish - Live at John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA, 11.19.10
Look at this big-eyed fish swimmin' in the sea
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird
Swoopin', divin' through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
And 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 who decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue and purple, so 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 brighter on the other side
Oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
No way
No way
No way out of here
You see this 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, drunk and tired, livin' in the street
Feelin' good as dead you see
The 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
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
Brighter on the other side, oh yeah, oh yeah
Brighter on the other side, oh yeah, oh yeah
Brighter on the other side
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird
Swoopin', divin' through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
And 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 who decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue and purple, so 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 brighter on the other side
Oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
No way
No way
No way out of here
You see this 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, drunk and tired, livin' in the street
Feelin' good as dead you see
The 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
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
Brighter on the other side, oh yeah, oh yeah
Brighter on the other side, oh yeah, oh yeah
Brighter on the other side
