JIMMY BUFFETT - A Thousand Steps to Nowhere lyrics

rate me

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
