Still don't know what I was waitin' for
And my time was runnin' wild
A million dead end streets and
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
Turn and face the strange
Don't want to be a richer man
Turn and face the strange
Just gonna have to be a different man
Mmm, yeah I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
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 goin' through
Turn and face the strange
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Turn and face the strange
You've left us up to our necks in it
Strange fascination, fascinatin'
The pace I'm goin' through
Turn and face the strange
Oh, look out you rock '' rollers
Turn and face the strange
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
But I can't trace time I said that time may change me
