Is That All There Is? Lyrics by Cristina

Doll in the Box

0

[Verse]
I remember when I was a little girl
My mother set the house on fire
She was like that
I’ll never forget the look on my father’s face
As he dragged me out of the building and onto the pavement
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas
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?"
[Chorus]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that’s all thеre is, my friends
Then lеt’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is
[Verse]
And when I was sixteen years old
I went to my first night club - I was really excited
And there were bored looking bankers dancing with beautiful models
And there were boys with dyed hair in spandex T-shirts dancing with each other
And as I sat there watching I felt that something was missing –
I don’t know what
But when I hit home, I said to myself
Is that all there is to a disco?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in Manhattan
We’d take long walks down by the river
And he’d beat me black and blue and I loved it
I’d have killed for that guy
But then one day, James went away
I thought I’d die, but I didn’t
And when I didn’t, I said to myself
Is that all there is to love?
[Chorus]
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
[Saxophone solo with laughing, cuckoo clocks and breaking glass]
[Bridge]
I know what you must be saying to yourselves:
"If she feels that way about it
Why doesn’t she just slit her throat and shut up?"
Oh no, not me. I’m not ready for that kind of a come down
Cuz I know just as well as I’m standing here talking at you
That when the final moment comes, when I’m breathing my last
I’ll be saying to myself
[Chorus]
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
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
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 bring out the ‘ludes and have a ball
Cuz that’s all there is
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
