Dave Matthews Band - Big Eyed Fish Lyrics






Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he’s dead 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 and 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 got to breathe

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 out of here

You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now lost 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 in my dreams

Fall away

    this sone never made the main train crowd, but hard core DMB fans know this is one of his best songs! precursor to "gravedigger"

    A.... A....

    I hear real fans call him "Dave". Is this true?

    A.... A....

    I haven't listened to DMB since high school over a decade ago, but back then I was a HUGE fan. Somehow I missed this one until it popped up on Spotify last week. It's been stuck in my head since. No way out of, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere. Every single shower, every single morning... Dammit, Dave!

    A.... A....

    Brad_Chanderson I can definitely identify. I only liked a few of their songs when I was in high school over 2 decades ago, but man it has been amazing discovering them again. It’s such great music that it’s hard to listen to anything else.

    A.... A....

    please don't speak for me. "the stone" is the best song DMB ever made.

  18. A.... W....

    Mason Samuel <3

    violins are one of the many magical instruments to send shivers down your spine.of course providing that the role is well placed

  23. T.... J....

    Glad they don't play this on the radio. They would have ruined it. Playing it over and over and over again. That's for me to do. Haven't wore it out yet..one of dmb's best

    T.... J....

    TUT JINSWAP Would Dave Matthews be boring over and over again ? :)

    T.... J....

    @Grasshoper [{Nas}] How would Dave Matthews be boring? I'm asking since "Big Eyed Fish" was the first Dave Matthews Band song that I ever listened to.

    T.... J....

    In the 90s this song came on the radio all the time
