Of how the others must see the faker
(Turn and face the strange)
So I turned myself to face me
I'm much too fast to take that test
I said that time may change me
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
Look out you rock 'n rollers
But you can't trace time
(Turn and face the strange)
Don't have to be a richer man
I watch the ripples change their size
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a better man
Time may change me
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
And so the days float through my eyes
As they try to change their worlds
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence
Time may change me
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
(Turn and face the strange)
(Turn and face the strange)
Changes are taking the pace, I'm going through
Are immune to your consultations
Time may change me
And these children that you spit on
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame, you've left us up to our necks in it
But I, I've never caught a glimpse
But I can't trace time
I can't trace time
(Turn and face the strange)
But still the days seem the same
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-changes, ch-ch-changes
Every time I thought I'd got it made
Strange fascination, fascinating me
