Time Travelers

My head spins as the Earth revolves
Another year escapes us all
Sent away under cloak of night
And change arrives at the speed of light
The world it turns we all move on
Life a bit more dusk than dawn
Fast forward through time and space
Always a sprint in the human race

The future pulls the future calls
Breaking down familiar walls
Turning dirt and yanking out roots
Yeah progress can be such a brute
It's out with the old in with the new
That long tradition still holds true
Good was bad and better's now best
And some become an unwanted guest

We're time travelers
Tourists from the past
Fighting so hard to bend back time
Trying to make it all last

We're time travelers
Although the die is cast
Hoping that a little science fiction
Can make it come to pass

So sweet until obsolete
Innovation steps to the beat
The cutting edge it always leads
It knows what each of us needs
A mind-blowing rocket ride
Hard to see any real down side
If we say that we have doubts
We're just old men yelling at clouds

We're time travelers
Tourists from the past
Fighting so hard to bend back time
Trying to make it all last

Oh yeah we're time travelers
Although the die is cast
Hoping that a little science fiction
Can make it come to pass

There's no stopping in times like these
You'll be a stack of dusty CDs
Stand still and you fall behind
As everyone toes the starting line

We're time travelers
Tourists from the past
Fighting so hard to bend back time
Trying to find our old prime

Oh yeah we're time travelers
Nothing seems to last
Hoping that a little science fiction
Can make it come to pass
Yeah
Make it come to pass
