Changes - Bowie
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 & face the strange,
Ch-ch-changes, Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn & face the strange,
Ch-ch-changes, It's 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 flow through 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 consultations, they're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn & face the strange,
Ch-ch-changes, Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn & 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
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn & face the strange,
Ch-ch-changes, Look out, you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn & 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
