about

This song takes its name from and is inspired by the movie Chan is Missing by Wayne Wang

lyrics

Fresh off the boat from Singapore
They sailed the windy sea
To the land of golden dreams
To raise their families
There were no banners to be seen
As the boat rocked close to shore

Chan is missing--

The years have passed the train was build
Chan’s grandfather is dead
Chan drives a cab in the big city
Works the morning shift till ten
He sings along to rock’n’ roll
And turns the volume loud

Chan is missing--

He walks the streets of Chinatown
But can’t communicate
He understands but he can’t speak
Or answer in Chinese
And to the rushing passersby
He’s just another face

Chan is missing--
