Changes

Turn and face the strange
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
And my time was runnin' wild
Of warm impermanence
Ch-ch-changes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
But you can't trace time
Turn and face the strange
Time may change me

Don't tell them to grow up and out of it

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
But I've never caught a glimpse of
But never leave the stream
Time may change me
Still don't know what I was waitin' for
Time may change me
Ch-ch-changes

You've left us up to our necks in it
Just gonna have to be a different man

But I can't trace time
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Turn and face the strange

I'm much too fast to take that test
Turn and face the strange
The pace I'm goin' through
A million dead end streets and
So I turned myself to face me
Ch-ch-changes
Mmm, yeah
Ch-ch-changes
Every time I thought I'd got it made
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
How the others must see the faker
As they try to change their worlds
I watch the ripples change their size
Ch-ch-changes
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
So the days float through my eyes
Where's your shame?
Ch-ch-changes
Are immune to your consultations
Strange fascination, fascinatin'
Don't want to be a richer man
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Ah, changes are takin'
I said that time may change me
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
But I can't trace time
Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
