Changes


Oh yeah

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
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 strain)
Ch-ch-changes
You want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
You\'re 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 the days still 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 strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Don\'t tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
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 strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Look out you rock \'n\' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon 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

This Longing

This endless longing as it was before
And all my angels came alive once more
They said \"hey, you in the dark\"

Another day spent in a broken shell
And all my demons they know all to well
They say \"god…you take your soul\"

This life was meant to take from your breath…
Away

I seem so empty
My endless longing goes on
I\'m living like I\'m lost these days
