Scatterbrain - Don't Call Me Dude lyrics

rate me

Here's my story, sad but true

About a girl that I once knew.

She broke my heart, I became unglued,

It all started when she called me dude

Well today I leave the psycho ward

Cause my sentence did conclude:

I had killed a man with my bare hands

Because he called me dude

The jury said that I was insane.

Temporally insane - brain strain.

But now the doctors say I'm A.O.K.

So I start my new life today.

This story starts some years ago

As I vacationed by the sea.

In the California sunshine

Just me & my baby.

I was in love feeling sky high

When a big blonde lifeguard walked by.

He looked at her, she looked at him -

I knew it was good bye.

He took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face.

She looked & laughed & said, "Later Dude!"

They were gone without a trace

And the waves echoed her laughter

And her words...Yo Later Dude.

Later that night I was in such a bad mood

Sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, getting stewed

Thinkin' 'bout that girl & how 'bout I'd been screwed

When some guy walks in sits next to me & says

What's up dude!

I heard the word dude & I became unglued.

Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch

And put my hands around his neck, and I squeezed...

Don't call me dude!

So that's how I got where I am

But this ain't where it ends.

The doctors said they cured me

I said good bye to my crazy friends.

I was smiling as I left that place

My life had been renewed.

The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass

And he said, "Yo Later Dude!"

Slowly I turned...
