Is This It

[Verse 1]
Walk outside your house, you could be a sitting duck
Man serves you with papers and says real nice "good luck"
In your car and here comes a deer flyin' 'cross the road
Or a man pulls up beside you and does what he's been told

[Chorus]
Is this it, is this the end?
Is this my time, is this the end of the line?
Is this it? I think I'm through
The joke's on me, no more existential ennui

[Verse 2]
Walking in a field, something falls from the sky
Walking up a hill, you slip on a rock and slide
Then again, it could be you going far today
Somebody had special plans and you were in the way

[Chorus]
Is this it, is this the еnd?
Is this my time, is this the end of thе line?
Is this it? I think I'm through
The joke's on me, no more existential ennui

[Verse 3]
This fragile edifice you've built just came crashing down
What seemed indestructible was razed without a sound
You think, "how blind was I?" You thought you could control it all
Then the 'cane came, the waters rose up over the flood wall

[Chorus]
Is this it, is this the end?
Is this my time, is this the end of the line?
Is this it, is that all there is?
Is this my demise, part of some grand design?

[Verse 4]
Puttin' on my tux to dine with my wife and our friend, Phil
We're feeling so smug and blessed in our mansion on the hill
Afterwards I look down, I see my arms are turning green
The TV is telling me there's been a large chemical spill

[Chorus]
Is this it, is this the end?
Is this my time, all part of some grand design?
Is this it? Well, I think I'm through
The joke's on me, no more existential ennui

[Outro]
It's a cosmic joke, and the joke's on me
No existential ennui
