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 g ot it made
It seems the taste was not so sweet ,
So I t urned my self to face me
But I've never caught a glimps e
Of how the others must see the fak er
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-c h-changes, turn an d face t he strange.
Ch-ch- ch-changes, you wanna be a richer ma n,
C h-ch-ch- changes, turn an d face t he stra nge.
It's gonna be a different man.
T ime m ay c hange me -- but I ca n't t race t ime
I watch the ripples change t heir size
But ne ver leave the stream
Of warm im permanence.
And so the days flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same .
And this chi ldren yo u spit on
As they try to change their worlds,
Are im mune to your co nsultation s.
They're quite aware of what they're going thru.
Ch-ch-ch -changes, turn and face th e strange.
Ch-ch- ch-changes , don' t tell them
to grow up and out of it.
C h-ch-ch- changes, turn an d face t he stra nge.
Ch-ch -ch-changes, there's your shame,
You'v e left us up your neck in it.
T ime m ay c hange me -- but you can't trace time
Strang e fascination f ascinating m e.
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru.
Ch-ch-c h-changes, turn an d face t he strange.
Ch-ch- ch-changes , Oh l ook out you Rock 'n roll ers
Ch-ch-c h-changes, turn an d face t he strange.
Ch-ch -ch-changes, pretty soon now
you're gonna get a little older.
T ime m ay c hange me, But I can 't tr ace time.
