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 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-changes

(Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-changes

(Don't want to be a richer man)

Ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strain)

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 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 worlds

Are immune to your consultations

They're quite aware of

What they're going through

Ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-changes

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

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

You can't trace time

Strange fascination

Fascinating me

Ah changes are taking the pace

I'm going through

Ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-changes

(Oh look out you rock 'n rollers)

Ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strain)

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
