Changes

Not rated yet.

I still don't know what I was waiting 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

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't have to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a better man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the riplets change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consolations
They're quite aware of what they're going
thru

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change them
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going
through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-Changes
Look out you Rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time.
