He Came From So Far Away (red Man Speaks) Lyrics - Chuck Prophet

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
