Lyrics The Changingman - Paul Weller

The Changingman

Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I cant 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
Im the changingman — built on shifting sands
Im the changingman — waiting for the bang-
As I light a bitter fuse
Time is on loan — only ours to borrow
What I cant be today — I can be tomorrow
And the more I see — the more I know
The more I know — the less I understand.
Im the changingman — built on shifting sands
Im the changingman — waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse
Its 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.
Im the changingman — built on shifting sands
(I dont have a plan)
Im the changingman — waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse
