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

And you were not the same after that

Ah

You were not the same after that

Ah

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

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

Walkin' 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 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

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

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

(Dropping from the bright sunny skies)

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

(Knockin' with this look in their eyes)

You got one good trick (Yeah) 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
