A Thousand Steps To Nowhere Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 

Photos 

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
