Big-Eyed Fish Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

Look at this ′Big Eyed' fish,
Swimming in the Sea,
Oh...
How it dreams to be a bird
Swoop′n, divin' through the breeze
So one day,
Caught a big old wave,
Up onto the beach
Now 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've 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!

So, Rain
Rain
Rain
Rain...


You see the little Monkey...
Sittin′ up in his 'Monkey Tree′
One day, decided to climb down, and run off to the Ci-ty...
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 - Out Of Here!

Rain on my Love,
Rain in my Dreams
My Love, Dreams...
Oh - Rain, oh...

Because - Oh God,
Under the Weight of Life
Things seem Brighter on the Other Side

Rain in my dreams,
Rain in my dreams,
Rain in...

Brighter on the Other Side...

Oh God,
Under the Weight of Life

Rain in my dreams,
Rain in my dreams,
Rain in my...

Fall away...
Fall away...
Fall away...
Fall away...
Fall away...
