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 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 still seem the same And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their words Are immune to your consolations
They've 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 me But I can't trace time

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

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes Ch-ch-Changes
Look out you Rook'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
