Girl of a thousand faces

From a long line of basket cases

Daughter of a fortune teller

Oh the lovely Isabella

CHORUS

She's changing channels

Stayin' on her toes

She's just changin' channels

As she goes

This place is full of beachhead sailors

Fisherman 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 changin' channels

Crazy girls and boys

They'll be changin' channels

Changin' toys

Survivors of tidal waves

children of former slaves

strange 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 changin' channels

Waitin' for their sails to fill

They were changin' channels

Always will

They'll be changin' channels

Waitin' for their sails to fill

They'll be changing channels

Always will
