I still don't know what I was
Waiting for
And my time was
Running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought
I'd got it made
Seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself
To face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
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 man
Ch-ch-ch-ch
Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch
Changes
It's gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples
Change their size
But never
Leave the stream
Of warm 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
Are immune 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 older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
Ch-ch-ch-ch
Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch
Changes
Ch-ch-ch-ch
Changes, changes
Ch-ch-ch-ch
Changes...
