The Changing Man Lyrics

Is happiness real?

Or am I so jaded

I can't see or feel - like a man been tainted

Numbed by the effect - aware of the muse

Too in touch with myself - I light the fuse

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands

I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-

 As I light a bitter fuse

Time is on loan - only ours to borrow

What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow

And the more I see - the more I know

The more I know - the less I understand. 

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands

I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-

 To light a bitter fuse

It's a bigger part -

When our instincts act

A shot in the dark - 

A movement in black 

And the more I see - the more I know

The more I know - the less I understand.

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands

(I don't have a plan)

I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-

 To light a bitter fuse
