Changes

Every time I thought I'd got it made
Ch-ch-changes
But I can't trace time
I'm much too fast to take that test
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
I watch the ripples change their size

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
So the days float through my eyes
Turn and face the strange
The pace I'm goin' through
But I've never caught a glimpse of
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Time may change me
Still don't know what I was waitin' for

Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
Turn and face the strange
You've left us up to our necks in it
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Of warm impermanence
And these children that you spit on
Strange fascination, fascinatin'
Time may change me

Mmm, yeah
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Ch-ch-changes
As they try to change their worlds
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

So I turned myself to face me
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
How the others must see the faker
Turn and face the strange
A million dead end streets and
Are immune to your consultations
Just gonna have to be a different man
Ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
But never leave the stream
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
And my time was runnin' wild
Turn and face the strange
But still the days seem the same
Ah, changes are takin'
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
