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
