What There Is

Empty glass

Gets another round

Squeaky chair

Makes another sound

There is a gentle breeze

Playing in your hair

Come, take a bow

While you're still all there

It's what it is

It's what it was

And what will be here

After us

There is no memory

There is no recall

No recollection

At all

Your dark glasses

Sliding down your nose

Bring these proceedings

To a close

It's what there is

It's what it was

And what will be here

After us

Your dark glasses

Sliding down your nose

Bring these proceedings

To a close

It's what it is (you can make it all worthwhile)

It's what it was (you can lend yourself some style)

And what will be here (you can give them all the reasons)

After us (all the facts that you have seasoned)

It's what there is (you can hear them hoot and holler)

It's what it was (as you come across a scholar)

And what will be here (you can set your name in lights)

After us (you can make two wrongs a right)

Ooh (you can make it all worthwhile)

Ooh (you can lend yourself some style)

Ooh (you can give them all the reasons)

Ooh (all the facts that you have seasoned)

(You can hear them hoot and holler)

(As you come across a scholar)
