A Thousand Steps to Nowhere
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
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
