lyrics originally by Lou Reed

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 seashell-sea is callin',
From across the world?

But she's not afraid to die,
The people all call her Alaska,
between worlds, so 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! X4
