David Bowie – Changes lyrics

Look down
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 seems the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
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 strains)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't wanna be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the strains)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gunna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't waste time
So watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
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 consulations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the strains)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up a part of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the strains)
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 strains)
Ch-ch-changes
Ooh look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the strains)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
