Lyrics

[Verse 1]

One, two boys by the river

Down by the water, tellin' riddles in the dark

With fireflies under the moonlight

Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife

[Verse 2]

Did you ever hear the one about the boy's big sister?

His best friend come along

He tried to kiss her

[Chorus]

The only difference that I see

Is you are exactly the same

As you used to be

[Verse 3]

One boy lives in a tower

With bow and arrow and the artificial heart

With his girl, the maid of dishonor

He loaded the cannon with a jealous appetite

They say that children now they come in all ages

And maybe sometimes old men die with little boy faces

[Chorus]

The only difference that I see

Is you are exactly the same

As you used to be

[Chorus]

The only difference that I see

Is you are exactly the same

As you used to be

[Bridge]

You always said that you needed some

But you always had more

More than anyone

[Chorus]

The only difference that I see

Is you are exactly the same

As you used to be

[Chorus]

The only difference that I see

Is you are exactly the same

As you used to be
