Iris
A thousand stepsPaperman
ObviouslyIris
The jewish cemeteryPaperman
It may come in handyIris
Let me get him. your heartPaperman
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 smartChorus
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 daysHenny
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 sarongIris
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 breakChorus
A thousand steps to nowhere
That is all I seePaperman
My heart is pounding madlyIris
Mine too, won't let me be
A thousand reasons not toPaperman
Strange but oh so true
I'm behavingIris
You're not past saving
A thing we both should doHenny
Cause he's happyDuet
Down is up, up is downHenny
I understandDuet
That's just life in kinja townHenny
Cause he's my manDuet
The natives and the castaways
That's just life for us these daysHenny
