Nothing can survive in a vacuum
No one can exists all alone
We pretend things only happen to strangers
Weve all got problems of our own
Its enough to learn to share our pleasures
We cant soothe pain with sympathy
All that we can do is be reminded
We shake our heads at the tragedy
Every day were standing in a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day were standing in a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast
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 dont fit
How can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit
Its just the age
Its just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page
Every day were standing in a time capsule
(Its just a stage)
We disengage, we turn the page
Racing down the river running fast
Every day were standing in a wind tunnel
(Its just a stage)
We disengage, we turn the page
Facing down the future coming fast
