Red Room
02:35

Lyrics taken from the book 'Catching The Big Fish' by David Lynch (2006)
One Summer Day
I was at a laboratory
Called Consolidated Film Industries
In Los Angeles
We were editing the pilot for Twin Peaks
And had finished for the day
It was around 6:30 in the evening
And we had gone outside
There were cars in the parking lot
I leaned my hands on the roof of one car
It was very, very warm
Not hot but nicely warm
I was leaning there and sssssst
The Red Room appeared
And the backward thing appeared
And then some of the dialogue
So I had this idea
These fragments
And I fell in love with them
That’s how it starts
the idea tells you
To build this Red Room
The idea to build
The idea

Run to the tunnel
Run to the light
Run to the ones with their backs to the night
The offer is made
Should you comeback
To all that you had and all that you lack
She said run, baby run
You've had your fun now baby
Run, she said run
Cos you're a man with a smoking gun
And if you return
Look over your shoulder
To the one with the light the one great beholder
we hope you forget
hope you lose track
of all that you had
and all that you lack
She said run, baby run
You've had your fun now baby
Run, she said run
Cos you're a man with a smoking gun
He said
That she said
He said
That she fled
He said
That she bled
Then he fled
(Run)
(Run) She said run, baby run
(Run) You've had your fun now baby
(Run), she said run
Cos you're a man with a smoking gun
(Run) She said run, baby run
(Run) You've had your fun now baby
(Run), she said run
Cos you're a man with a smoking gun
A Smoking Gun
A Smoking Gun

Warrego
03:30
|
|||
The Warrego’s calling your name
Across the open plain
Westerlies starting to blow
On the Warrego
Warrego Warrego Warrego
Over placid hills
Helidon’s milk bar grills
Up the range we go
On the Warrego
Warrego Warrego Warrego
Wheels of industry grind
Torrington’s left behind
Up the Oakey Road
On the Warrego
Warrego Warrego Warrego
We go!
Warrego
We go!
Ooooh Warrego
We go!
Oooh Warrego
We go!
Ooooh Warrego

Audrey
04:07
|
|||
She’s lost in the forest
As she sleeps in her room
The curtains are drawn
but something slips through
I don’t know what’s happening
With Audrey
The voices are backwards
They speak to her dream
Her dress is all red
But it’s not what it seems
What the hell is happening with Audrey
What the hell is happening with Audrey
Audrey is angry
And somewhat confused
She’s lost all her bearings
and can’t find her shoes
I don’t know what’s happening
With Audrey
She’s slipped into a coma
Now Bob’s found a muse
The ghost strings are twanging
A discordant tune
What the hell is happening with Audrey
What the hell is happening with Audrey
With Audrey
With Audrey
With Audrey
(Wake Up)
With Audrey
(Wake Up)

Find Your Feet
03:12
|
|||
Ego came up against itself on a road
Weary blistered feet
From the weight of a heavy load
The sun beat down
But in it there’s no light
Irritated complication
With no one to fight
Spirit whispered
Just go within
Body weak
Will is strong
Find your feet in Santiago
Find your feet
Find your feet
Find your feet in Santiago
Find your feet
Whoa whoa
Walk all day to find a place to rest
The one who got under your skin
Put your forgiveness to the test
The hours melt
The days they grow like trees
The hours melt
Days grow like trees
Spirit whispered
Just go within
Body weak
Will is strong
Find your feet in Santiago
Find your feet
Find your feet
Find your feet in Santiago
Find your feet
Whoa whoa

Drive In
03:46
|
|||
It’s Melbourne in ‘55
You had to learn to drive
To get into a drive in
Clip the speakers on the door
Order Cherry Ripes for four
The family’s at the Drive In
Out of town Drive In
Out of Town Drive In
Out of town Drive in
We were drivin’
To the Drive In
Out of Town
Now we’re at the Yatala Twin
Just smuggled three friends in
But no one ever knew
Only me and you
Out on our first date
In 1988
But all we see are houses
Another new estate
Drive in Out of town
Drive in Out of town
Drive in Out of town
Drive In
We would pile in
To the Drive in out of town
Now we wonder where they are
And we blame the VCR
for what happened to the drive in
Cos all but two are gone
But the memories linger on
Of what happened at the drive in
Out of town Drive in
Out of town Drive in
Out of town
Drivin’
Drive In
Out of town

Ride Alone
04:14
|
|||
Upon my trusty board I ride
No one ever by my side
The way it is
I ride alone
For many partners I have tried
But one by one they’ve surely died
That’s why
I ride alone
I’d like to share this nice sea-side
With someone I could call my bride
Too many years here on my own
But cursed I know that I must be
Stuck in this world so solitary
You see, I ride alone
I ride alone
I see a handsome shape draw near
In my hotel he downs a beer
Those eyes, I’m somewhat thrown
He asks if he can have a room
Says that it’s for one not two
Because he sleeps alone
I take him to the winding stair
I see his gorgeous long black hair
Inside I moan
Show him to the bedroom door
I want so much to ask for more
Been too long here on my own
On my own
Excuse me now you’ll understand
I’d like to take you by the hand
But I’m cursed
This much I’ve known
I’d like to have my way with you
But that’s something that I cannot do
Cos soon you’ll be dead and gone
But just this once
Just once maybe
Come and lie beside of me
Give me love I’ve never known
Break this curse and break this spell
Come release me from my hell
Come here
Ride me alone
Ride me alone
For many hours that single night
He loved me ‘til the morning light
But I woke to find him gone
And in the morn
When I awoke
I saw three words upon a note
Which read
I ride alone
I wonder now where he must be
And how he just abandoned me
And the child
He’s never known
But I will wait
I will yearn
Until that day when he returns
Til then
I ride alone
Alone

Raggedy Dog

Raggedy Dog with the raggedy paw
Raggedy Dog with the fat lumpy sore
What’s more beautiful than a flowering tree
What’s more beautiful than a sunset over the sea
The Raggedy Dog with the raggedy hair
Raggedy Dog with the lost vacant stare
What’s more beautiful than a flowering tree
What’s more beautiful than a sunset over the sea (than she)
Raggedy Dog with the soft staring eyes
Raggedy Dog, tell you no lies
What’s more beautiful than a flowering tree
What’s more beautiful than a sunset over the sea
The Raggedy Dog I’m glad you were mine
Raggedy Dog we had quite a time
What’s more beautiful than a flowering tree
What’s more beautiful than a sunset over the sea (than she)
Raggedy Dog I’m glad you were mine
The Raggedy Dog we had quite a time
Raggedy Dog we had quite a time
The Raggedy Dog
Raggedy Dog
The Raggedy Dog
Raggedy Dog

Dingo
02:22
|
|||
Here I stand
Like a watering can
Offer you my throat
Offer you my hand
Big wheels comin’ down the road
Angry headlights explode
Dingo, dingo
Here I stand
Like a watering can
Offer you my throat
Offer you my hand
There’s wildlife playing on the road
So please be careful where you go
Dingo, dingo

Roadhouse
06:43
|
|||
The man in a black tie and a black suit
Introduced the band in his black shoes
Streetlights in the wind begin to move
They speak of something whispered in the trees
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
Douglas Firs they reach their branches high
Like tendrils they go dancing in the night
As Bob looks on, I feel the owls are watching me
The band are in the green room
Feeling nervous and alive
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the owls are never what they seem)
Streetlights in the wind begin to move
They speak of something whispered in the breeze
As Bob looks on, the owls are perched up high
The band strikes up reverberates on something wild tonight
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the roadhouse)
At the Roadhouse
(the owls are never what they seem)
