Radio Paradise (mobile)

You took a trip
And climbed a tree
At Robert Sledge's party
And there you stayed 'til 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
(AHHHH AHHHH)
You were not the same after that
(AHHHH AHHHH)
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 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
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 got one good trick
And you're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
To it...
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)
You see 'em drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking 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're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
You're hangin' on

gemtag Sep 24, 2011 - 12:45	Where did the other 4 go? I thought he was going to join the army. This song is very 80's. I dint like the eighties that much. [ Reply ]

Just a frustrated but accepting "WTF?" when a friend drops acid and finds Jesus, a metaphor for the random and bizarre changes some people go through, daring us to make sense of it. Secondly, if you've ever heard him do this in concert, you won't forget it. It's excellent, particularly when the audience sings along. For that matter, I know very few people that have seen him live that have not become fans. He refuses to phone it in and really tears the place down. Best concerts I've ever seen. I agree wholeheartedly. I actually was never blown away by this song until I saw him play it live, which gave me a new appreciation for it. [ Reply ]

Kokoloco53 Mar 19, 2011 - 11:27	Good tune, good mix of bass drive along with some good lyrics. Beach Boys, Brian Wilson would approve I'm sure. Dig it. Far out. [ Reply ]
alph Feb 16, 2011 - 03:02	Never been a huge BFF fan, but I remember seeing them at a music fest back in the 90s out in a field in Kansas. They closed the festival with a truly amazing live performance, which culminated (if I recall correctly) with Ben climbing atop a tower of speakers and tossing his stool down at his piano, presumably to hit the final chord just right. I don't remember what song it was. ice-9 wrote: I can confirm. Seeing him live made me a hopeless convert, and this is usually the best song in an excellent concert. [ Reply ]

ick Dec 15, 2010 - 10:33	The fact that I do not have this record in my music collection is a serious issue that must be remedied at the first opportunity... utilizing the links at Radio Paradise of course. [ Reply ]

malvey254 Sep 24, 2010 - 20:02	Is it a coincidence that this song was just played on 9/11? This album was released on 9/11/01. I saw Ben at the TLA in Philly the next day performing songs off this album, and it was a surreal experience since everyone was still in shock from the previous day's events. Of course the lyrics are also reminiscent of how the world changed that day "You were not the same after that..." Sorry to get all melodramatic, but when I saw the date this was last played... Anyway - more Ben Folds Five, please? [ Reply ]
