A Thousand Steps To Nowhere - Jimmy Buffett

(5:25) 
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
