Lyrics
If you come to my house
I will show you something to see
It's a picture of a man, I used to be
But these days I'm running through the dark
Like a blind man, what's happened to me?
These days searching for a sign
In the badlands, oh, give it to me
African shadow man
Tell me the future if you can, tell it to me
There's magic in your hands
Touch my life and set me free
African shadow man
I am a refugee in a world that once was mine
Hunting my tomorrow on the edge of time
But these days I'm running through the dark
Like a blind man, what's happened to me?
There days I'm running from a tribe in the badlands
Oh, set me free
African shadow man
Tell me the future if you can, tell it to me
There's magic in your hands
Oh, touch my life and set me free
African shadow man
Tell me the future if you can, tell it to me
I don't need a Cadillac
To take me where I have to be
Oh, it feels alright, it feels alright to me
Oh, it feels alright, it feels alright to be
An African, an African
An African, an African
An African, an African
African shadow man
Tell me the future if you can, tell it to me
There's magic in your hands
Oh, touch my life and set me free
African shadow man
Show me the future if you can, tell it to me
I don't need a Cadillac
To take me where I have to be
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
