Changes (demo) Songtext
von David Bowie

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
Now I placed myself to face me
But I′ve never caught a glimpse
Of how others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take the test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, don't have to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, just gonna 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 float through my eyes
Yet the weeks still seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
For they′re quite aware 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 them
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, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can′t trace time
