Jimmy Buffett - A Thousand Steps To Nowhere lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - A Thousand Steps To Nowhere lyrics]
A thousand steps
Obviously
The Jewish cemetery
It may come in handy
Let me get him your heart
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
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
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
My heart is pounding madly
Mine too, won't let me be
A thousand reasons not to
Strange but oh so true i'm behaving
You're not past saving
A thing we both should do
Cause he's happy
Down is up, up is down
I understand
That's just life in Kinja town
Cause he's my man
The natives and the castaways
That's just life for us these days
Cause he's happy
Down is up, up is down
I understand
That's just life in Kinja town
Cause he's my man
The natives and the castaways
That's just life for us these days
That's just life for us these days
Gilbert come and prime the pump
Obviously
The Jewish cemetery
It may come in handy
Let me get him your heart
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
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
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
My heart is pounding madly
Mine too, won't let me be
A thousand reasons not to

The natives and the castaways
That's just life for us these days
Cause he's happy
Down is up, up is down
I understand
That's just life in Kinja town
Cause he's my man
The natives and the castaways
That's just life for us these days
That's just life for us these days
Gilbert come and prime the pump
