about

lyrics

What if Danny has a fainting spell and swallows his tongue!
What if Jack falls down the elevator shaft and punctures his lung
What if you run out of food and have make like the Donners
Feeding on each other or until you’re all gonners.

What if the place caught on fire? Oh what a thought.
What if your marriage has expired, and it’s starting to rot.
What if you overlook all the signs at the Overlook, and they find you dead.
What if you have a fun time, now stop it, Winnifred.

Wendy, there's no overlooking at the overlook,
he’ll never finish that book,
your marriage is cooked
and now you’re hooked
on a road you wish you never took.
everything you don't want to see is on repeat.

Wendy, there's no overlooking at the overlook
You’re on the road you wish you never took
and now you’re hooked.
You should have left him when he shook
your boy and broke his arm.
Sure he didn’t mean any harm.

What does it take.
How many bones have to break
before you’re willing to wake
up and leave Jack.
Now look. You’re at.
The overlook overlooking
the monster you married is possessed and busy cooking
up murder in ways he’s on a craze to please his palate.
You know he’ll go for broke with a stroke of the rocque mallet.

There’s a horror in ever y room.
Some very bad thing that keeps happening happening.
You can’t escape the fear and doom.
Try and keep your sanity from unraveling raveling

Every room has its horrors.
Death and blood fill the corridors.
There’s a woman in the bathtub who can’t stop dying
There’s a guy in a dog suit who can’t stop crying
The woman in the bathtub -- dead but flirting
The guy in the dog suit whose knees are hurting.

REDRUM on wall from which there’s no recovery
You can even die from the evil shrubbery.
REDRUM on the wall. There's no recovery.
Evil rabbits are made from evil shrubbery.

REDRUM on the wall happens again and again
Blood in the hall - Come take your medicine.
REDRUM on the wall happens again and again
Blood fills the hall come take your medicine.
Evil on repeat evil on repeat it never ends.

Shine on… Danny, shine on…

We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
