"T-Bone" Burnett
The Difference
[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
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 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

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