Every Time a Child Says 'I Don't Believe in Allah' There is a Little Allah Somewhere That Falls Down Dead

歌詞

I remember when I was a very little boy, 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 onto the pavement And I stood there shivering in my pyjamas, 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, dancing bears And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads As I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what 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 took 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'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 he feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?" Oh no, not me! I'm not ready for that final disappointment For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking, dear And 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!"
