Ben Folds Best Imitation of Myself (Live)
Recorded live at: New York City, New York Roseland Ballroom 6/13/02
I feel like a quote out of context with holding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see
I've got the gestures and sounds got the timing down its uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me
Do you think I should take a class to lose my southern accent? did I make me up or make the face till it stuck I do the best imitation of myself
the "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine like the theories about my "little stage"
I swore I was listening but I started drifting 'round the part about me "acting my age" now if it's all the time i've people to entertain
you know i'll juggle one-handed do some magic tricks and the best imitation of myself
maybe i'm thinking myself in a hole wondering - who I am when I ought to know straighten up now time to go fool somebody else fool somebody else
last night I was east with them and west within trying to be for you what you want to see but I can't help it if you good and bad comes through hanging out with no one but me
yeah, love, its all the same it comes from the same place and if my mind's somewhere else you won't be able to tell I do the best imitation of myself
yes, it's uncanny to see you really think it was me the best imitation of myself do the best imitation of myself
thank you
this is a true story, and its, um, it's about, I don't really know what it means, but its about, it's this guy we knew that climbed up a tree at a party, on acid, and he stayed up the tree, tripping all night long, and in the morning, everyone had gone home, he came down from the tree and he was a born again Christian, its true. It's where religion and drugs meet back on the other side.
