The Difference

(album: Bringing Down The Horse - 1996)

One, two boys by the river
Down by the water
Telling riddles in the dark
With fireflies under the moonlight
Carving the insides of a tree with a knife
Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister
His best friend come along
He tried to kiss her

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

One boy lives in a tower
With bow and arrow
And the artificial heart
With his girl
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

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

You always said that you needed some
But you always had more, more than anyone

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be
