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 on 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? 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 when I was twelve years old My daddy took me to the circus, the greatest show on Earth There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears 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, but when it was 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 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'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 not ready for that final disappointment Because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes and I'm Breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself 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

How the lights will change Coming back into the city Driving homeward slow Shimmer like you do to me We laugh at all those changing trees Autumn is falling down again Out of this blue Sunday dream Come to me with your smoky mouth Raindrops fall on this old town It's been me and you've been falling round Well I lied to you when I knocked upon your door See I was nowhere near your neighborhood But if this all in our mind If this is all just in our minds Honey would you mind Getting out of mine This is all just in our head And now it's screaming red Watching the leaves fall down and laugh at us instead

We are all trapped in prisons of the mind, It's a hard sensibility But we'll see it through in time But when words come between us Noiseless in the air Believe me, I know it's so easy to despair. But don't Tonight i'm talking to myself There's no one that I know as well Thoughts collide without a sound Frantic, fighting to be found And I've found things in this life That still are real A remainder refusing to be concealed And I've found the answer lies in a real emotion Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion Too many situations Left with too little to say So we try, we try to feel our way And if decisions cause divisions Tell me who's to blame? Pick a target for convenience When there are other ways So don't Tonight i'm talking to myself There's no one that I know as well Thoughts collide without a sound Frantic, fighting to be found And I've found things in this life That still are real A remainder refusing to be concealed I've found the answer lies in a real emotion Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion

Cruelty is the better part of your honesty And when you're so direct its just for yourself to protect And if I started crying, would you start crying? Now I started crying - why are you not crying? Sometimes--when I--see a world inside Sometimes--when I--I try--I really try And hope's just another rope to hang myself with To tie me down till something real comes around And if I started crying would you start crying? And if I started crying why are you not crying?
