Lyrics How about tellin' a story Devendra Banhart

 926

How about tellin' a story


Well how's about tellin' a story
One that's really about somebody
What they saw and what they did
How they died and how they lived
By the time I found a name I moved onto another game
Called write a song toes and spines god damn
Now I can't think of any story lines
But you know I'd love to try and sing about a person, place, or thing
Mansonite and the Wolfman, Katmandu, and Honest Abe
Something happens up in Tucson and then it happens again in Maine
San Francisco, sweet thing, ladeedada da..na na!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics HOW ABOUT TELLIN' A STORY of DEVENDRA BANHART is also present in the album Cripple crow (2005)
