Devendra Banhart - Hows About Tellin A Story Lyrics

Artist: Devendra Banhart

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Devendra Obi Banhart

Well hows 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 the name I moved onto another game
Called write a song toes and spines goddamn
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, Kathmandu and Honest Abe
Something happens up in Tucson and then it happens again in Maine
San Francisco, sweet thing, ladeedada da, no no
