I still don’t know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed 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 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 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
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 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
Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
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
Prevod pesme
Promene
I dalje ne znam šta sam čekao
A moje vreme je letelo
Milion slepih ulica
Svaki put kad bih pomislio da sam uspeo
čini se da to i nije bilo tako slatko
Zato sam se sebi okrenuo
Ali nikad nisam ni pomislio
kako drugi tog lažnjaka vide sigurno
Prebrz sam da bih na tom testu bio
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-p-p-promene
Ne želim da budem bogatiji
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-promene
Samo ću morati biti drugačiji
Vreme će me možda promeniti
Ali ja vremenu ne mogu u trag ući
Posmatram kako talasići menjaju svoj oblik
ali ja nikad ne napuštam taj tok
tople nestalnosti i
tako dani plove kroz moje oči
A ti dani i dalje se čine isti
i ova deca na koju pljuješ
dok svoje svetove da promene pokušavaju
imuna su na tvoje konsultacije
poprilično su svesna onoga kroz šta prolaze
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-promene
Ne govori im da odrastu i to prerastu
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-promene
Zar nije te sram
Ostavio si nas do grla u tome
Vreme će me možda promeniti
Ali ti vremenu ne možeš u trag ući
Čudna fascinantnost, fascinira me
Promene počinju da idu mojim korakom
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-promene
Oh, pripazite vi, rokenroleri
P-p-p-p-promene
(Okreni se i sa nepoznatim suoči)
P-p-promene
Ubrzo ćete biti malo stariji
Vreme će me možda promeniti
Ali ja vremenu ne mogu u trag ući
Kažem da će me vreme možda promeniti
Ali ja vremenu ne mogu u trag ući
