I Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my t ime was running w ild,
A million d ead end streets.
And every time I thought I'd got it made
It seems the t aste was not so s weet,
So I t urned my sel f to face me
But I' ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the o thers must se e the faker
I'm much too fa st to take that test
Ch ch ch changes, t urn and face the stra nge.
Ch ch c h changes, you wa nna be a ric her man,
Ch ch ch ch anges, tu rn and face the stra nge.
It's gonna be a diffe rent man.
Ti me m ay change m e but I ca nt trace t ime
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stre am
Of warm impermanence.
And so the days flow through my eyes
But the days still seem the s ame.
And this c hildren you spit on
As they tr y to change their w orlds,
Are imm une to yo ur consultations.
They're quite aware of what
they're going through.
Ch ch ch changes, t urn and face the stra nge.
Ch ch c h changes, Don't tell
them to gr ow up and o ut of it
Ch ch ch ch anges, tu rn and face the stra nge.
Ch ch ch c hanges, there's your shame,
you've le ft us up yo our neck in it.
Ti me m ay change m e, but yo u c an't t race t ime.
St range fascination fascinating me.
Oh c hanges are taking the place
I'm going through.
Ch ch ch changes, t urn and face the stra nge.
Ch ch ch c hanges, l ook out yo u Rock 'n r ollers
Ch ch ch ch anges, t urn and face the stra nge.
Ch ch ch ch anges, p retty soon now
yo u're gonna get a little older.
Ti me m ay change me , But I ca n't t race time.
