(Oh yeah)

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

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

Ooh-yeah

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream, form 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
They're 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 and 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 change time
