Lyrics
Oh, get up
Mm
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-ch-ch-changes) turn and face the strange (ch-ch-changes)
Don't wanna be a richer man
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes) turn and face the strange (ch-ch-changes)
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me but I can't trace time
Ooh, yeah
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-ch-ch-changes) turn and face the strange (ch-ch-changes)
Don't tell them to grow up, or out of it
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes) turn and face the strange (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 strange (ch-ch-changes)
Ooh, look out you rock 'n rollers
(Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes) turn and face the strange (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
