Songwriter: David Bowie
I Still dont 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 seems the taste was not so sweet
So i turned my self 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-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, you wanna be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
It's gonna 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 flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame
You've left us up yo our neck in it
Time may change me, but you can't trace time
Strange fascination fascinating me
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me, But i can't trace time
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
And every time i thought i'd got it made
It seems the taste was not so sweet
So i turned my self 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-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, you wanna be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
It's gonna 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 flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame
You've left us up yo our neck in it
Time may change me, but you can't trace time
Strange fascination fascinating me
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me, But i can't trace time
