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 soothe 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

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

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

(It's just a stage)

We disengage, we turn the page

Racing down the river running fast

Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel

(It's just a stage)

We disengage, we turn the page

Facing down the future coming fast
