A Thousand Steps to Nowhere

 

A Thousand Steps to Nowhere Lyrics

Iris
A thousand steps

Paperman
Obviously

Iris
The Jewish cemetery

Paperman
It may come in handy

Iris
Let me get him. Your heart

Paperman
Stay here
A thousand steps to nowhere
That is all I see
This night is asking questions
Where and what for me
A thousand miles from Henny
Who warned me from the start
I feel foolhardy, I miss Sardi`s
Thought I was so smart

Chorus
Down is up, up is down
That`s just life in Kinja town
The natives and the castaways
That`s just life for me these days

Henny
I`ve had it with this weather
My skin is pale as bleach
I`m heading back to Kinja
And stretch out on the beach
My past is in these boxes
All clean and neatly packed
No time for sorrow, I leave tomorrow
There`s no turning back
No turning back, I`m island bound
I want to turn from white to brown
Sing and dance to calypso songs
Trade in this mink for a pink sarong

Iris
I really do admire him
And what he`s taking on
This island and these crazies
But I fear he`ll soon be gone
Can`t let myself fall for him
A terrible mistake
He`s got Henny, I`m one too many
This time my heart could break

Chorus
A thousand steps to nowhere
That is all I see

Paperman
My heart is pounding madly

Iris
Mine too, won`t let me be
A thousand reasons not to

Paperman
Strange but oh so true
I`m behaving

Iris
You`re not past saving
A thing we both should do

Henny
Cause he`s happy

Duet
Down is up, up is down

Henny
I understand

Duet
That`s just life in Kinja town

Henny
Cause he`s my man

Duet
The natives and the castaways
That`s just life for us these days

Henny
Cause he`s happy

Duet
Down is up, up is down

Henny
I understand

Duet
That`s just life in Kinja town

Henny
Cause he`s my man

Duet
The natives and the castaways

Ensemble
That`s just life for us these days
That`s just life for us these days

Paperman
Gilbert come and prime the pump
