lyrics

She asked me, “what is that you’re reading?”
I said, “a mighty old book.”
She motioned come a little closer
And tell me what the author cook

I said, “he might have mixed some medicine
out of blood and bones and dirt. You can have
some of my portion, I swear it won’t even hurt.”

And as for my story, as for my dream
You can tell me what it means

She leaned over and kissed me
Just above the brow
I asked her how that fixes anything
All the hiding and the how

We paused and we noticed the lightening
Like a signal from above
Are we in some kinda trouble?
With the eyes that speak of love

And as for my story, as for my dream
You can tell me what it means

She screamed, “yours is a made up story,
one of imagination, nothing but an allegory.
Lessons lost in bought sensation,
Out the window of distraction

We could see it clearly up the street
There was a child riding a unicycle
Peddling with bare feet

And as for my story, as for my dream
Please tell me what it means

She had a puddle of lost expression
About wonder of why she was riding there
And as we looked into the distance
There came electric blinding glare Suddenly the pane was shattered
We were yanked out on a string
And sucked into the pages
Another storyteller’s thing

A tale that must have already been written
You can tell me what it means

At least it was dictated to a scribe
All wrapped and bowed and well described

And then all of a sudden
The journey took a turn
There was a new cast of characters
Was there something more
That we could learn

To be honest it seemed quite random
I mean maybe we could suss it out
Or maybe it’s just psychedelic
That puts the whole damn thing in doubt

There was a one-eyed juggling panda bear
With a patch upon that eye
A broken glass kaleidoscope
Formed a prehistoric fly

The ice cream truck says softee
But it’s coming out as dry
The stern-faced owl with the twisted scowl
Is only selling pie

And as for my story, as for my dream
You can tell me what it means

And as for my story, as for my dream
You can tell me what it means

Von Doodle Daddies San Francisco, California

Hailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco, Von Doodle Daddies is an old school rock and roll group with a new global purview. Born out of the isolation of a global pandemic, a world in which artist need to speak up, and the shared belief that music heals, this band of life-long rockers is ready to break out, with cause, from the depths of a studio and into the public eye. ... more
