Funny how secrets travel
I'd start to believe
If I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me blond
Cruise me babe
A blond belief beyond, beyond, beyond
No return, no return

I'm deranged
Deranged down, down, down
I'm deranged down, down, down
So cruise me babe, cruise me baby, oh

And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, babe

The clutch of life
And the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
I'm deranged

And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged

And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged

Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, babe

I'm deranged
And the rain sets in

@David W it's a very good film, many, many layers to it, but without some introduction to surrealism, it will seem like total nonsense. Nonetheless, it is not remotely nonsense.

David Lynch said in an interview that when he heard this song (which was not written specifically for the movie) he envisioned this scene in the movie and that was the start of Lost Highway.

JGambolputtyofUlm

I didn't know that, but it makes sense to me. The song is absolutely perfect for this film and when I think of how it wasn't written specifically for it, well, my head starts to split like Frank's did

Erwin Woodedge

@MrHejke If you don't get Lynch, it's your loss.

Mr Nelsonius

@Metalane Lynch is the language of dreams. You’re either on board to follow a dream with him, or you think dreams are nonsense. It’s that simple. David Lynch’s art aspires to the logic of dreams, and for those who understand that logic, it succeeds and we appreciate his work. But if dreams are nonsense to you, then naturally Lynch will be nonsense to you

I have just stumbled into your conversation, in this Lost Highway: Lynch and Hank. There is one question I would like give voice to, what does constitute "art" and is there any one person who can say, definitively, a thing is not art? I know this is a long since gone conversation but I feel the topic is just as true today as it was then. Thank you from one philosopher to another.

To this very day, the hypnotic, "I'm Deranged" remains my all-time favourite song by David Bowie. And that is not simply because it was the very first song which introduced me to the late great chameleon of the music industry...

...With it's relentless beats, sweeping piano melodies & the delicate precision of Bowie's vocal delivery, "I'm Deranged" is a bewildering ride across an Industrial-tinged soundscape...

...And from the first moment he sings ("FUNNY HOW SECRETS TRAVEL...") Bowie's voice hangs in the air, haunting the listener like an inner-demon speaking directly to it's host (Bowie's narrator, from whom we live vicariously).

It should also be noted that "I'm Deranged" is actually a companion piece to Bowie's 1979 song "Look Back In Anger". If not musically then definetly lyrically! Bowie himself often performed both songs back to back at live shows to solidify their relationship as siblings.

@Evil Robot Santa Claus 🎁 💣 💥 Nope, Eno is just a co-producer on this track. Moreover, he told in his 1995 diary he didn't think this track had good composition and didn't like it much. One of few points where i seriously disagree with Brian :D
