Story of a man who decided not to breathe
Turned red, purple, then blue, colorful indeed
No matter how his freinds begged
Well he would not concede
And now he's dead, you see, cause everybody knows you got to breathe
But oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Lighter on the other side
Another one, see this monkey, sitting in his tree
One day, decided to climb down and run off to the city
Look at him now, tired, and drunk, living in the street
As good as dead, you see, a monkey should know stay up your tree
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 much lighter on the other side
No way, no way, no way out of here
Another one, a big eyed fish, yeah, swimming in the sea
Oh how he dreams he wants to be a bird, swoopin', divin? through the breeze
One day, caught a big blue wave up on to the beach, now he's dead you see,
A fishes dream should stay in the sea
But oh God,
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
But oh God,
But under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
No way, no way, no way out of here
No way out of life
