Changes

Still don't know what I was waiting for
But my time was running wild in the dead end streets
And every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I time myself to face me
But I was never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the figure
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
You wanna be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
He'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 one 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 world
Are immune to your consultation
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 out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
What a shame you've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

Strange fascinations fascinate me
Oh, changes are taking the face 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
