Changes

i still don′t know what i was waiting for

and my time was running wild

a million dead-end streets

every time i thought i′d got it made

it seemed the taste was not so sweet

so i turned myself to face me

but i′ve never caught a glimpse of 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 stranger)

ch-ch-changes

don′t want to be a richer man

ch-ch-changes

just 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

so the days float through my eyes

but still the days seem the same

and these children that you spit onas 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 strain)

Ch-ch-changes

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

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(turn and face the strain)

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

Ah changes are taking the pace i'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-changes

Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-changes

Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older

Time may change me

But i can't trace time

I said that time may change me

But i can't trace time
