Full grown man punches Full grown man punches Buzz cuts and silver dollars Take a vein and blacken it Ain't you cold without your junk, babe? Take a number, what's your name? What's your name? If you call without an answer Take a train and ride it in late Prepare to stop in Portland Find a stranger with the name... With the name... Gets cold without the stuff, babe Don't forget you or your name What's your name?

All Aboard 03:06
All aboard This train is all beat and naked today Stand straight for me We call for honesty and honestly I hate this feeling All aboard this train A near breaking weak in the knee Get up, be brave We are society and society doesn't particularly care for me All aboard this train All aboard It's time to be honest These rats don't keep great company It's time to be honest I get so incredibly lonely without you Without you, without you All aboard this train

I'm a Witch 02:51
Heads are rollin' down the streets in Brooklyn Tail is hard to come by in this ruin I'm a witch in need of love and so are you Stars are crashin' to the Earth like bullets Stars are covering the headline bulletin A witch in need of love and so are you So love me, do I'll wait for you Call me when your show has stole the town I'll run there to present your crown I'm a witch in need of love and so are you Call me when you're feeling down I'll fly up in my blackest gown I'm a witch in need of love and so are you So love me, do I'll wait for you Love me, do

Fool 02:57
I fail to sleep and I'm walkin' Close your eyes I met a creep in a record store Close your eyes I played the fool in a den of men Close your eyes I'm pushin' through to the mornin' Lullaby I fell asleep with a needle in Close your eyes I met a creep with a promise Close your eyes The same mistakes follow warnings Close your eyes I play the fool My lullaby I play the fool I play the fool I played the fool I played the fool

Kill the bastard slowly Out in the cold you dope me Know you'll be crawlin' slowly back into my arms Fell in love with a dope fiend High on meth and cocaine And when you drop the soap, babe I will do you harm Oh, I want you to be the bones I lay by In this cold, dark, wooden grave I belong to Oh, I want you to be my strangler String the rope up for me Kneel below and beg me And when you're satisfied, babe You're to leave me strung Oh, I want you to be the bones I lay by In this cold, dark, wooden grave we belong to Oh, I want you to be my strangler Oh, I want you to be the bones I lay by In this cold, dark, wooden grave I will mold to Oh, I want you to be my strangler

Mama, where goes papa? He's gone a long way south by the bay Mama, where goes papa? He's gone, he ain't gon' be back home today And the saints go marchin' on By the break of day was stolen Papa gone done nothin' wrong Hush, be quiet now For tomorrow comes a brand new day Mama, where goes papa? By the moon, beyond the day Mama, where goes papa? He's gone, he ain't gon' be back home today Little darlin', close your eyes For a tale of peril forged by little lies And the saints go marchin' on By the break of day was stolen Papa gone done nothin' wrong Hush, be quiet now For tomorrow comes a brand new day

Oh, America! 03:11
Gotta get out of Ash Town Little Pony Boy, get out Oh, America! Oh, America! Hush, Piggy, now Back down You can't win the crown, get out Oh, America! Oh, America! Gotta get out Get out, get out Gotta get out Get out Oh, America! Oh, America! Oh, America!

But I have a dream today! He was cold I was deranged He kept in time with a medicated brain We were dark and a little strange And brokenhearted in the age of a thing She was slain I was amused Find my mind so constantly confused I can pray against His name Still we're dying in the age of a thing That we die among the cobwebs and the flame That we're cursed beauty and indigo That we live in the age of a thing That we live in the age of a thing That we live in the age of a thing That we live in the age of a thing

Frozen 02:54
Hanging there by rings You look so celluloid You're lookin' so lean I let the tears fall from my eyes But it ain't helping I'm fading out The credits roll through the night Used to hang around with you Playin' all the games we never knew Used to be in love with me Now you're on a door I'm freezin' Used to fuck a round or two Hanging on by strings and buried into you You smell unclean Another frozen night Be sure to keep me warm And as I fade the credits roll through the night Used to hang around with you Playin' all the games we never knew Used to be in love with me Now you're on a door I'm freezin'

Oh, were I a bee atop Notre Dame Oh, if I were a bee Spend my days alone I'd get things done I'd sleep at night Oh, were I a bee atop Notre Dame If I were If I were If I were me

about

Revisiting this album nearing a decade after I released it, I wanted to play with what could have been. I've always been most proud of this album, but I think 9 years ago–in my excitement to get it out into the world–I lost sight of what I wanted the album to be.

This version of the album is a closer representation to how it would have sounded had I not rushed those final few weeks. The tracks cut are presented as bonus tracks in this release, they will always be a part of the album, just not this particular version of it.

Original release date: 10 June 2014
