Not The Same Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

You took a trip and climbed a tree 

At Robert Sledge's party 

And there you stayed till 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 

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 knockin' 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 

You were not the same after that 

Till someone died on the water slide 

You were not the same after that 

You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies 

They come knockin' 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 

(Droppin' from the bright sunny skies) 

They come knockin' at your door with this look in their eyes 

(Yep, knockin' with this look in their eyes) 

You've got one good trick 

(Yep) 

And you're hangin' on, you're hangin' on 

(You seem 'em drop like flies) 

You're hangin' on 

You're hangin' on 

You're hangin' on
