Not the Same

Ben Folds · The Best Imitation Of Myself - A Retrospective [2011]

You took a trip

And climbed a tree

At Robert Sledge's party

And there you stayed 'til morning came

You were not the same after that



You gave your life

To Jesus Christ

And after all your friends went home

You came down

You looked around

And you were not the same after that



(AHHHH AHHHH)

You were not the same after that

(AHHHH AHHHH)

You were not the same after that



You see 'em drop like flies

From the bright sunny skies

They come knocking at your door

With this look in their eyes

You got one good trick

And you're hangin' on

You're hangin' on

To it...



You took the word

And made it heard

And eased the people's pain

And for that

You were idolized, immortalized

And you were not the same after that



Walking tall

You'd bought it all

And you were not the same after that

'Till someone died

On the water slide

And you were not the same after that



You see 'em drop like flies

From the bright sunny skies

They come knocking at your door

With this look in their eyes

You got one good trick

And you're hangin' on

You're hangin' on

To it...



(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)

(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)



You see 'em drop like flies

From the bright sunny skies

They come knocking at your door

With this look in their eyes

You got one good trick

And you're hangin' on

You're hangin' on

You see them drop like flies



You're hangin' on

You're hangin' on

You're hangin' on
