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
