Bruce Hornsby - Gonna Be Some Changes Made lyrics

Gonna be some changes made Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be some Gonna be some changes made Man was a knife expert Kind of a Jim Bowie type Swaggerin', blusterin', 'coon skin I said, "You're not serious, right?" Then I saw him grab my friend by the hair Well I guess I should have prayed As he dragged him around, I said to myself "There's gonna be some changes made" (Gonna be some changes made) Girl I knew and loved alone For years from afar With a finger to her lips She led me out to see the stars She led me down to the gritty lake And in it we did wade She took my hand and put it there Gonna be some changes made (Gonna be) Gonna be some changes made Gonna be some changes made There's gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight (Changes made) You're just our style, our kind of guy so pleased to have you Now that you're here with us today Can you play with this kazoo I said well, alright, ok As if I was afraid I walked out in a daze, I said to myself There's gonna be some changes made (Changes made) (Changes made) Up in front for all to see I'm graceful like a bumblin' fool Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool Maybe no one noticed it On my mind heavily it weighed I saw two people snickering I said, "There needs to be some changes made" (Snickering, snickering, snickering, snickering) Changes made, gonna be some changes made Gonna be some changes made There's gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off gotta get myself straight Thought I'd go and read some books Appear to be smart Maybe love would come my way As a patron of the arts I tried spouting Shakespeare on a mid-summer night's shade The girl just yawned and I walked on Gonna be some changes made Gonna be some changes made Going home, I've done enough To sow my little name Going where the fields are green And I can do my macramé A buffoon fumblin' without a clue Who likes to shift the blame And often feels betrayed There's gonna be some changes made There's gonna be some changes made Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight Gonna be some changes, changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see a clown's face Gotta take it off, gotta get myself straight (Yeah gotta get myself straight) Gonna be some changes made Doo doo doo doo
