Not the Same Songtext
von Ben Folds

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

You were not the same after that

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
Yeah, you were not the same after that
'Til 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

(You were not the same)

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 ′em drop like flies)

You're hangin′ on
You're hangin' on
You′re hangin′ on
