Is That All There Is? Lyrics by Sandra Bernhard

Stormy Weather

0

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 through the burning building out to the pavement
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?
Is that all there is 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 when I was 12 years old
My father took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants, and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady flew high above us in pink tights
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know
But when it was all over I said to myself
"Is that all there is to the circus?"
[Chorus]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
Is that 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
Then I fell in love
Head over heels in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We would go for long walks
Or just sit for hours and gaze into each other's eyes
We were very much in love
Then one day he went away
And 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?"
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. Not me
I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
For 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]
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
