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 and face the strange (Ch-ch-Changes) Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes Turn and face the strange (Ch-ch-Changes) Just 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 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 Are 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 stranger (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 Oh, 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 trace time

A change would do you good A change would do you good
God’s little gift is on the rag Poster girl posing in a fashion mag Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde Wear your fake fur on the inside Queen of south beach, aging blues Dinner’s at six, wear your cement shoes I thought you were singing your heart out to me Your lips were syncing and now I see
A change would do you good A change would do you good
Chasing dragons with plastic swords Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more Scully and angel on the kitchen floor And I’m calling buddy on the ouija board I’ve been thinking ’bout catching a train Leave my phone machine by the radar range Hello it’s me, I’m not at home If you’d like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good A change would do you good Hello, it’s me, I’m not at home If you’d like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good A change would do you good
You're a part time lover and a full time friend, The monkey on the back is the latest trend, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
Here is a church and here is a steeple, We sure are cute for two ugly people, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage, I want more fans, you want more stage, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
I'm always tryin to keep it real, Now I'm in love with how you feel, I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train, I kiss you all starry eyed, My body swings from side to side, I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
The pebbles forgive me, The trees forgive me, So why can't, You forgive me? I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you
Du du du du du du dudu Du du du du du du dudu I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you.
