Pinky's dream,
Watch the room.
Please Pinky watch the room.

Please Pinky will you watch the room.
Please Pinky watch the room.
Please Pinky.
Pinky
Pinky's download
Going fast away
Purple, going up away
Orange, blown away
Pinky's dream, blown away

Pinky,
What do you see?
Find down the road
Pinky,
Tell me,
Are you laughing, or are you crying?
Watch the road
Please Pinky watch the road
Please Pinky watch the road

Please Pinky watch the road
Please Pinky watch the road

Please Pinky watch the road
Pinky
Pinky's download going fast away
Purple, going up away
Orange, blown away
Pinky's dream, blown away.

Pinky,
What do you see?
Find down the road
Pinky, tell me
Are you laughing? or you're crying?
Hey Pinky how can you go so fast?
Hey Pinky when you're shaped like that?
Hey Pinky, what's in your mouth?
Hey Pinky how could you scream so loud?

Hey Pinky, what do you see?
Hey Pinky, is it, can me?
Watch the road
Please Pinky watch the road
Please Pinky watch the road




Please Pinky watch the road
Please Pinky!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pinky's Dream Visionquest" describe a dream-like state where Pinky is urged to watch the room and the road. The repeated plea for Pinky to watch implies a sense of danger or urgency, as if Pinky is responsible for keeping a lookout. The colors purple and orange are mentioned as they fade away, contributing to the dreamy, surreal atmosphere portrayed in the song.


As Pinky is asked what they see down the road, the lyrics invite the listener to reflect and question the nature of reality. The song poses a dichotomy between laughter and crying, as if Pinky's emotional state is supposed to align with the situation at hand. The lyrics then take an abstract turn with questions regarding Pinky's physical characteristics, such as their shape and the contents of their mouth, creating a disjointed and unconventional narrative.


Overall, the lyrics of "Pinky's Dream Visionquest" create a sense of disorientation and a surrealistic landscape for the listener. Through the character of Pinky and the colors described, the song invites the listener to explore the nature of reality and the subconscious mind.

Pinky's dream
The kid that drove, drove
All night long
Piled high, and smoking the stuff of dreams
Like love
So he lost his way
Down by the tracks
All gone out
All gone out
Not coming back
She laughed a lot
And he found out
His arms too long
And his head too small
To crawl away, she made him feel
The sound is given up
I looked around and the place was empty
That girl was funny that way
Stone's gone up babe
White light
Stone's gone up babe
O'er the mountain's face
At night
Our stars
All the wishes I had
All the dreams I had
Stone's gone up
White light
You jumped out at me
Like a bird
The street tilted
Slot machine bells
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Got this dream that I'm loving you
If I wrote a wish to you
If you'd read it
It'd say
Could we be together
Just you and me
The wilderness stretches out forever
You and me
Could we be together
But then it went all dark
And I knew
It couldn't be
Stone's gone up babe
White light
Stone's gone up babe
O'er the mountain's face
At night
Our stars
All the wishes I had
All the dreams I had
Stone's gone up
White light

I used to drive during those hush hush hours, alone, along the darkened highways, mini bottles in the cubbie, I knew I was on a collision tracks.
It all felt inevitable. Wrong. Sweet. Fuxked up. Now nostalgic. Regretful, but not.
I loved driving alone on those empty highways. Listening to this song. As loud as it would go. Filling my lungs.
Content in the. My solitude.

@magnusb9783

What do you mean on a collision tracks?. Like driving on the wrong side?

@Drogmir

Karen O really makes this track. To be honest I found the rest of the album to be so-so but this track really stands out.

@soni_yo_bravo

It was composed by David Lynch, her voice is great, but there are other singers who could have interpreted it, instead, without his creation it would not exist ;)

@glowinTHX

@@soni_yo_bravo true, I like other tracks from Lynch, but this Karen fitted perfectly in this one

@JudeFawley666

This a f...king great song!!! It reminds me of the sound and atmosphere of Siouxsie and the Banshees. (In addition the vocal tone of Karen O. is very similar to Siouxsie's voice...)

@dagyadg

I love david lynch. Also that computer noise gets me every time I swear

@wesNYC

Strange and unproductive thinking thinking thinking

@dizocilpine

@@wesNYC no thank you

@the2ndcoming135

Yeah, sometimes I gotta step back like oh this is one of those double entendres or no?🤔
