Lyrics:
Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world
But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
'Cause it's all in her mind
Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is thought she's the fool, she can't leave him alone
Stephanie says why does he hang up the phone
What sea shell I say is calling from across the world
But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
'Cause it's all in her mind
Stephanie says
Stephanie says
Stephanie says
Stephanie says
Notes:
Lyrics differences from the original:
*Last chorus line "'Cause it's all in her mind" instead of "It's all in her mind"
*Last line from the second verse:
"Why it is thought she's the fool, she can't leave him alone
Stephanie says why does he hang up the phone
What sea shell I say is calling from across the world"
instead of
"Why it is though she's the door, she can't be the room
Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone
What sea shell sea is calling from across her world"
