Is That All There Is? lyrics

I remember when I was a little girl

Our house caught on fire

I'll never forget the look on my father's face

As he gathered me up in his arms,

and raced me through the burning building onto the pavement

And I stood there shivering in my pijamas,

and watched the whole world go up in flames

And when it was all over I said to myself

"Is that all there is to a fire?"

"Is that all there is?"

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends,

then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball

If that's all there is

[Interlude (Spoken): Elizabeth Gillies]

And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circus

The Greatest Show On Earth

There were clowns and elephants

And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads

And as I sat there watching

I had the feeling that something was missing

I don't know what

When it was all over I said to myself

"Is that all there is to the circus?"

"Is that all there is?"

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball

If that's all there is

And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world

We'd take long walks down by the river

Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes

We were so very much in love

Then one day he went away and I thought I might die

But I didn't

And when I didn't, I said to myself

"Is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep...

I know what you must be saying to yourselves:

"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"

Oh, no

No, not me

I'm not ready for that final disappointment

'Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you

And when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath

I'll be saying to myself

[Chorus: Elizabeth Gillies]

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball

If that's all there is
