I just found out Carol Blye
dropped out of school in Junior High,
injected with the urge to try and
look for Lucy in the Sky.
She told me all this from her Penthouse office
and I could hardly believe.
40 stories above the streets that she once knew of,
amazing news to receive.
We change our hair; we change our clothes
and things so deep down they don’t show.
Old days we leave behind
lead to new ways that we find.
If you wanna change your life you change your mind.
I’d like you to meet a friend of mine
She used to tow the corporate line
great big paychecks made it seem like
everything was fine
her greatest gift was slowly withering upon the vine
she longed to take a chance and step out in
the bright sunshine
The shocking red of her brother’s death bed it
finally opened her eyes
What’s life good for if money means more than
daring to give your dreams a try?
We change our hair; we change our clothes
and things so deep down they don’t show.
Old days we leave behind
lead to new ways that we find.
If you wanna change your life you change your mind.
I think I’m gonna surprise you
I think you’re gonna suprise me too
Whatever we’ve been into
We can trade it in for somethin’ new.
Did you know that I used to be
twice the size I am currently?
Nothing flattered; nothing fit me
lonely nights spent full but empty.
All I wanted was to disappear.
Then one day I turned and faced my fear.
We change our hair; we change our clothes
and things so deep down they don’t show.
Old days we leave behind
lead to new ways that we find.
If you wanna change your life
If you wanna change your life
If you wanna change your life you change your mind.
You change your mind
Change your mind.
