Is This All That There Is?

lyrics

Chalk it down to experience
You can’t talk me down from my sky
I’ll tell you all about it, dear
When I see you on the other side

Why don’t you come with me, Alice
I won’t escape tonight with my life

Help me to live a little longer
Expect good news, but it never arrives
Was that really all there was
To trying to keep myself alive?

Why won’t you come with me, Alice
I won’t escape tonight with my life
Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I was expecting there to be a little more

A little more money for a little more fun
A little more love for a little more sun
The home hosted dinners that all tasted grey
The sum of the hours we frittered away
It’s time that we wasted all growing up strong
From sat navigators that turned us out wrong
Never taught us to manage but only to coast
Now we’re at a crossroad but three lanes are closed

Why won’t you come with me, Alice
I won’t escape tonight with my life
Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I was expecting there to be a little more

They told us there would be more
Then they threatened us with cake
They told us there’d be cake
They promised us cake
They turned all our heads
But they took away our bread
They turned all of our heads
They took away our bread
Our bread!

Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I was expecting there to be a little more
Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I won’t escape tonight with my life

Is this all that there is?
Is this all that there is?
Is this all that there is?
Is this all that there is?

Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I was expecting there to be a little more
Oh, is this all that there is, Alice?
I won’t escape tonight with my life
