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
