Red Room from Roadhouse by The Double Happiness

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
