Nothing can survive in a vacuum
No one can exists all alone
We pretend things
Only happen to strangers
We've all got problems of our own
It's enough to learn
To share our pleasures
We can't sooth pain with sympathy
All that we can do is be reminded --
We shake our heads at the tragedy
Every day we're standing
In a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we're standing
In a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast
It's just the age
It's just a stage --
We disengage --
We turn the page...
Looking at
The long-range forecast
Catching all the names in the news
Checking out
The state of the nation
Learning the environmental blues
Truth is after all a moving target
Hairs to split
And pieces that don't fit
How can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit
Every day we're standing
In a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we're standing
In a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast
It's just the age
It's just a stage --
We disengage --
We turn the page...
We turn the...
It's just the age
It's just a stage --
We disengage --
We turn the page...
Every day we're standing
In a time capsule
We disengage --
We turn the page...
Every day we're standing
In a wind tunnel
It's just a stage --
We disengage --
We turn the page...
Every day we're standing
In a time capsule
It's just a stage --
We disengage --
We turn the page...
