Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

The Changingman

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

Our 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

As I light a bitter fuse

I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang

As I light a bitter fuse, yeah
