look at this 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
cuz fish should know stay down in the sea
Chorus:
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, 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
cuz every man should know you got to breathe
Chorus:
but oh god, under the weight of life
things seem brighter on the other side
oh god, but under the weight of life
things seems much brighter on the other side...
you see this monkey sittin 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
cuz every monkey should know, stay up in your fuckin tree
Chorus:
but oh god, under the weight of life
things seem so much brighter on the other side
oh god, but under the weight of life
things seem much brighter on the other side
