Chuck Prophet - He Came From So Far Away (Red Man Speaks) lyrics

He came from so far away, he had a telephone without a number He came from so far away He came from so far away, I never saw him drink a drop of water He came from so far away Well he told me that his mom was Ginger Rogers And he said his old man was Fillmore Slim And he never raised his voice above a whisper But I leaned in to every word he said He came from so far away, you wouldn't even know it if you saw him He kept a picture of a pigeon in his wallet Well I dreamed I saw him once on television And I thought he'd melt the camera with his eyes When they asked him why he wore a mask in public He said This is my face, it covers my disguise
