Not The Same Lyrics - Ben Folds

You took a trip and climbed a tree 

At Robert Sledge's party 

And there you stayed 'till morning came 

And 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've got one good trick and you're hanging on you're hanging 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've got one good trick and you're hanging on you're hanging on to it 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh) 

(You were not the same!) 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh) 

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

They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes 

You've got one good trick and you're hanging on 

you're hanging on: 

You're hanging on 

You're hanging on
