Song is Changes by David Bowie. Lyrics that play:
Still don’t know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead end streets - and
Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test.
