Changes (Live) [2023 Remaster]

[Verse 1]

Still don't know what I was waiting for

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

Then 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

[Chorus]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes, didn't wanna have to be a richer man

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes, just wanted to be a better man

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh yeah

[Verse 2]

I watch the ripples change their size

But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and

So the days float through my eyes

But still the days seem the same, just the same, quite the same

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds

Ah, they're immune to your consultations

They're quite aware of what they're going through

[Chorus]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes, don't tell us to grow up and out of it

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)

Oh, changes, pretty soon you've left us up to our necks in it

Time may change me

I can't trace time

[Bridge]

Strange fascination, fascinating me

Oh, changes are taking the pace I'm going through

[Chorus]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes, look out, all 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

I can't trace time
