Hows About Tellin A Story lyrics

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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/devendra_banhart/hows_about_tellin_a_story.html ]
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
