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.
It's all in her mind.
Stephanie says
That she wants to know
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 she 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.
It's all in her mind.
They're asking, 'Is it good or bad?'
It's such an icy feeling.
It's so cold in Alaska.
It's so cold in Alaska.
It's so cold in Alaska.
