lyrics

Are you stalking through the shadows
With your slightly eerie glow
Your pale green hair
Your almond eyes
Your constant scent of newly fallen snow

Are you quite at home in this world
All its motorbikes and gangs
Its dirty needles
Boarded windows
This surely can’t be any home you planned

Hey changeling, so what are you about?
Hey changeling, where do you come from?
Hey changeling, should you let them find you out
Or is it time for moving on?

Why do you still try to live with human beings?
Why do you still try to do that boy/girl thing?
Although you can hold a job or stand in queues
Is this honestly the sort of world for you?

You keep walking through my dream time
With your shirt slightly undone
Your rapid eyes
Expressive hands
You daze me, but your wildness looks like fun

Are you quite at home in this world?
All its sex-workers and cops
Its red-lit doorways
Car-park dealers
In your heart you know there’s nowhere sane it stops

Hey changeling, so what are you about?
Hey changeling, where do you come from?
Hey changeling, should you let them find you out
Or is it time for moving on?

Why do you still try to live with human beings?
Why do you still try to do that boy/girl thing?
Although you can hold a job or stand in queues
Is this honestly the sort of world for you?

Is this any sort of world for you?
Is this any sort of world for you?
Or is it time for moving on?
