He came from nowhere
I fell from nowhere
All he had were his good looks
On real ground
You float, float, float away
I'm on real ground
I forget to walk away
In 1903 to 70
He came from nowhere
We all fell from nowhere
But all he had was his good looks
In 1903 through 70
He came from nowhere
We all came from nowhere
All he had were his school books
On real ground
You float, float, float away
I'm on real ground
I prefer to walk away
