Changes - David Bowie, The Spiders From Mars

Still don't know what I was waiting for

And 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

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 better man

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

Oh yeah

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

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 I 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
