Changes

I still don't know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild, A million dead-end streets. And every time I thought I'd got it made It seems the taste was not so sweet, So I turned my self 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-changes, turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-ch-changes, you wanna be a richer man, Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange. It's gonna 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. And so the days flow thru my eyes But the days still seem the same. And this children you spit on As they try to change their worlds, Are immune to your consultations.    They're quite aware of what they're going thru. Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it. Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame, You've left us up your neck in it. Time may change me -- but you can't trace time Strange fascination fascinating me.    Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru. Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older. Time may change me, But I can't trace time.
