When Is the Future?

Stranger in the crowd trading fire after dark

Lost in the city pulsing to the sound

Of the spirit in soul, a city that is breathing

Living through the cables, alive across the wires

Faces without names playing devils and angels

Lit up by the strokes, moving hypnotized

I caught your reflection in the neon in glass

Electric silhouette against the static sky

It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life

It's just a reflection, a world I must survive

We're children of the past, look beyond today

Designing the present so when is the future?

Living in a  dream, keeping visions alive

It's just a reflection, a world that never dies

The image we create, your image we designed

It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?

Time moves so fast in a single direction

Fighting with the present, racing from the past

We're searching for something that can never satisfy

The reality of answers when lives are on the line

I've waited a lifetime for the age of wonder

A place that I remember in a splinter of time

A stranger in a strange land caught in the flow

Still searching for answers among the neon lights

It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life

It's just a reflection, a world I must survive

We're children of the past, look beyond today

Designing the present so when is the future?

Living in a dream, keeping visions alive

It's just a reflection, a world that never dies

The image we create, your image we designed

It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?

It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life

It's just a reflection, a world I must survive

We're children of the past, look beyond today

Designing the present so when is the future?

Living in a dream, keeping visions alive

It's just a reflection, a world that never dies

The image we create, your image we designed

It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?
