about

lyrics

Jack Nicholson Torrence
Was at the end of his proverbial rope
He shouldn’t have punched that kid on his debate team
He should have just left him alone

And poor little Danny’s
got the shining
He sees dead people
He hears of red rum
Halloren says the things you see can’t hurt you
close your eyes, doc and they’ll be gone

Gonna be a long lonely winter
At the Overlook hotel
With no living soul to play with
Until the snow melts

The lady in the bathtub 217
Would kill for another younger man
She’s been soaking in the tub since 1957
purple and bloated just waiting for Dan

The Ganster in the Presidential Suite
Had his brains splattered over the fine silk wall
Known in his day for chopping up his victims
The guys who killed him ran away with his balls

Gonna be a long lonely winter
At the Overlook hotel
With no living soul to play with
Until the ice melts

Come and play with us Danny
For ever and ever
You look in the mirror
You see the redrum
Tony can’t save you from
Mr Grady
And your Dad’s kinda creepy
And so is your mom

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. 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
