C	   G    	C
A thousand steps to nowhere 
F	G	C
That is all I see 
C		 G	C
This night is asking questions 
F	   G	   C
Where and what for me 
C	   G    	C
A thousand miles from Henny 
F	       G	C
Who warned me from the start 
F	   G      C F    C    G
I feel foolhardy, I miss Sardi's 
F	  G       C		
Thought I was so smart 
Chorus 
F	     G    C
Down is up, up is down 
C	            G       C	
That's just life in Kinja town 
C	            G    C
The natives and the castaways 
C            F       G           C
That's just life for me these days 
 
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 
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
