Changing Channels

[Verse 1]
Girl of a thousand faces
From a long line of basket cases
Daughter of a fortune teller
Oh the lovely Isabella

[Chorus 1]
She's changing channels
Stayin' on her toes
She's just changing channels
As she goes

[Verse 2]
This place is full of beachhead sailors
Fishermen and old retailers
Simple lives are so deep-seated
And history always gets repeated

[Verse 3]
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 2]
They are changing channels
Crazy girls and boys
They'll be changing channels
Changing toys

[Verse 4]
Survivors of tidal waves
Children of former slaves
Strange how they all behave
Like it's another world

[Verse 5]
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 3]
They were changing channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They'll be changing channels
Always will

[Chorus 3]
They'll be changing channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They'll be changing channels
Always will
