[Verse 1]
Story of a man, who
Decided not to breath
Turned red, purple, then blue
Colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged
Well, he could not concede
And now he's dead, you see
'Cause everybody knows
You got to breathe

[Chorus]
But, oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

[Verse 2]
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
And living in the street
As good as dead, you see
A monkey should know to stay in the tree
[Chorus x 2]
But, oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

[Bridge]
No way
No way
No way
Out
Of here

[Verse 3]
Another one
A big-eyed fish
Swimming in the sea
Oh, how he dreamed
He wants to be a bird
Diving through the breeze
One day he caught a wave
Up onto the beach
And now he's dead, you see
A fish's dream should stay in the sea

[Chorus x 2]
But, oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
[Bridge]
No way
No way
No way
Out
Of here
