I 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 wanna 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 and So the days flow through my eyes But still 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 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 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
