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 strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
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 strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem 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
Oh, 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 is a video for the ages. Transcendant art. Performance at its finest. And it can stand alone without being placed in the longer context of the incredibly entertaining 20 minute short film it comes from.

Some of my best Bowie moments are post ziggy and post weirdness. :P While I love major tom and the spiders from mars, Blue Jean Pretty Pink Rose(with Adrian Belew) and modern love completely rocked. China girl too. Forget ziggy stardust or Tin Machine. Dave did just fine surfing between glam, rock, and pop in the 80;s.

Here's my humble guess: throughout the video, the audience does whatever David does on stage. . .notice all the hand movements. . .so, at the end, HE'S not clapping, he's snapping his fingers. . .so,
everybody else snaps along. . .I guess...

I don't care what anyone says about the eighties being Bowie's sellout period, HE WAS AMAZING!!!! AS ALWAYS!!! In fact there never was a time a can honestly say I have been like "wow David not your best stuff," it's all that great! Not to mention... HE LOOKS SO EFFING HOT IN THIS VIDEO!!!!! The feature enhancing make up, the ice high lights. Damn the man is pure sexy meets god given talent. How can you beat that?

If you listen carefully, the xylophone lick during the chorus sounds similar to the one from "Love My Way" by Psychedelic Furs

Why'd they snap their fingers at the end, instead of clappin' for David? Anyway, hit #8 in the US.
