[Verse 1: Butterfly Boucher]
Oh yeah
Mm
Still don't know what I was looking for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
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

[Chorus]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer one
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different one
Time may change me
But I can't trace time


[Verse 2: David Bowie]
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
They're immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

[Chorus]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
[David Bowie]
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
[Butterfly Boucher and David Bowie]
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

[Bridge]
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through

[Chorus]
[Butterfly Boucher]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
[David Bowie]
Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
[Butterfly Boucher]
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
[Butterfly Boucher and David Bowie]
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
