Changing Channels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Girl of a thousand faces
>From a long line of basket cases
Daughter of a fortune teller
Oh the lovely Isabella
Chorus:
Oh she's changing channels
Stayin' on her toes
She's just changing channels
As she goes
This palce is full of beachhead sailors
Fishermen and old retailers
Simple lives are so deep seated
And history always gets repeated
Some folks see a birds eye view
Others haven't got a clue
Some will go and some will stay
It doesn't matter anyway
Chorus:
They are changing channels
Crazy girls and boys
They'll be changing channels
Changing toys
Survivors of tidal waves
Children of former slaves
Don't it that they behave
Like it's another world
There's an island in the ocean
Where the people stay in motion
Somewhere on the old gulf stream
Do they live or did I dream
Chorus:
They were changing channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They'll be changing channels
Always will
They were changing channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They'll be changing channels
Always will
