Changes

Oh yeah

Still don't know what I was looking for
and my time was running wild
a million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
it seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
but I've never caught a glimpse
of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Don't want to be a richer one
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Just gonna have to be a different one
Time may change me
but I can't trace time

Oh yeah

I watch the ripples change their size
but never leave the stream
for impermanence and
so the days float through my eyes
but still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
they're immuned to your consultations
they're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
but you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking
the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-changes)
Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't change time
