Music career
The Nymphs
The Nymphs spent the mid-to-late 80's honing their craft in New Jersey, but soon decided to try to make it big in California. They hadn't been there more than a few months before only Inger and guitarist Geoff Siegel were left, and replaced the other two with guitarist Sam Merrick, drummer Alex Kirst and bassist Cliff D. (Cliff Jones)
The band's distinctive sound, a mixture of punk rock and goth, glam and grunge, and image began to attract the attention of major record labels. At the time, the band simply wanted to sign to an Indie label, as most grunge and punk bands did before the 1991 success of Nirvana's Nevermind, but by 1989 the Nymphs were signed to Geffen Records with a nearly million-dollar recording contract. The band even made a brief appearance in the film Bad Influence performing "The Highway", a song Lorre wrote about a young girl infatuated by serial killer Richard Ramirez.

Transcendental Medication
by: Inger LorreI thought you swore you didn't have a goddamn gun
Well son of a gun
Did they make you run?
Into the first pair of arms
That you mistook for love
And just maybe it even was
But she's not your friend
No she's not your friend
Ah, she's not your friend
She can tell you what you want
But she's not your friend
Hey! And I thought about when you were young
Walkin' down the street
Banging on your drums
And your growing pains
Were more than real
Hurt you in your bones
Hurt you everywhere you can feel
And angel boy you never even knew
That they'd try to make it so hard
Make it hard on you
And I never even had a chance to say goodbye
Couldn't even try
Couldn't even try
Not as dumb as you tried to make us believe
So stifle the scream
Behind your smilin' grindin' teeth
A smile and a scream
No, she's not your friend
No, she's not your friend
She's not your friend
She can tell you what you want
Ah, but she's not your friend
And I thought about when you were young
Sittin' under trees
Banging on your drums
And your growin' pains
Were more than real
She hurt you in your bones
Hurt you everywhere you can feel
And angel boy you never even knew
That they'd try to make it so hard
Make it hard on you
I never even had a chance to say goodbye
Couldn't even try
Couldn't even try
