Lyrics

Time flows steadily onward
Never passing us by
We hurry on, hustle on
Scurry on, rush along
We deal with it all on the fly

All in flow is the present
Sweet memory is the past
We tumble on, bustle on
Carry on, dash along
Our lives are all changing so fast

All around flows the Zeitgeist
And always pulls me along
Novelty keeps me ever enticed
The Zeitgeist is ever so strong
In its wake lies nostalgia
Inviting me to remain
Yet, the future shines bright from far
I yield to the Zeitgeist again

Ever drawing me forward
Fashion has its allure
I hurry on, hustle on
Scurry on, rush along
The Zeitgeist’s rewards are assured

Every fad has an ending
Revolution will come
We tumble on, bustle on
Carry on, dash along
All fashion will have to succumb
