A million dead in the streets
A million dead-end streets
A million denim streets
A million dead-end streets
And I've been dragged across the river of honey far and wide.
And I've been dragged across the river running far and wide.
Are immune from your constipation
Are immune to your consultations
Are immune from your contractions.
Are immune to your consultations.
Are immune to your constant patients.
Are immune to your consultation.
But I can't change time
But I can't trace time.
But I can't chase time.
But I can't trace time.
But I can't take time
But I can't change time
But I can't trace time
But I can't change time
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change, yes!
(Turn and face the strain.)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!
(Turn and face the stranger.)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change, yes!
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes,
Your face is strange
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes,
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Tryin and bass of string)
Ch-ch-changes.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-changes.
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
(John, your face looks strange)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!
(Turn and face the strain)
Chyme won't change me
But I can trace chyme.
Time may change me
But I can't trace time.
Don't tell them to blow up a Parliament.
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Don't tell them to go up to Parliament.
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Don't tell them to grow up an hour or bit
or
Don't tell them to grow up on our bed
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Don't tell them to grow up and olive ants.
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Don't tell them to grow up in Olivette
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Don't wanna be a ritual
or
Don't wanna be original
Don't wanna have to be a richer man
I never caught a glimpse of how the others receive bacon
I've never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker.
I see no chains
I see no changes
I watch the nipples change their size.
I watch the ripples change their size.
I watch the nipples change their size.
I watch the ripples change their size
I watch the ripples change the sides,
But never leave the stream of one permanent scent
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back on the highway.
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back unto my ways.
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back out of the way.
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back unto my ways.
I'm looking for jinkies.
I'm looking for changes.
I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see a vicar
I've never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker.
So I turned myself to fencing
or
So I turned myself to basing
or
So I turned myself, debasing
or
So I turned myself to base me
or
So I turned myself to bay seed
or
So I turned myself to Bay City
or
So I turned Marcel to fake seed
So I turned myself to face me
So I turned myself to space man
Turn and face the strange
Time may change me but I can change time.
So I turned myself to face me
Turn and face the strain
Time may change me but I can't trace time.
Strange fascinations are killing me
Strange fascination fascinating me.
Strange vaccination facsimilie
Strange fascination fascinating me.
Strange vaccinations are killing me.
Strange fascination fascinating me.
Time may change me
But I won't change time.
Time may change me
But I can't trace time.
Time may change me
But I can't change time
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
Time to face the change
Turn and face the strange
Tr-tr-tr-traces
Remain the same.
Ch-ch-ch changes
Turn and face the stranger.
Two shots in the dark, now he's gay.
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead.
While others receive bacon, I'm much too tired to take that trip.
Of how the others see the faker, I'm much too fast to take that test.
You're gonna have to be a richer man
or
Don't wanna have to be with Richard, man
or
Don't wanna have to be original
or
Don't wanna have to be Erection Man
Don't wanna have to be a richer man
You're leading up to our next event.
You left us up to our necks in it.
