Part 1: Divorce & Fever
Interviewer: D'you think the end of the world is coming?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: The preacher man says it's the end of time... He says that America's rivers are going dry. The interest is up, the stock market's down. You guys have to be careful walking around here this late at night
Beggar Woman: Spare change?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: This - no we don't ma'am, I'm sorry - this this this is the perfect place to get jumped
Interviewer: But d'you think the end of the world is coming?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: No. So says the preacher man but, I don't go by what he says
Interviewer: Indeed
Part 2: Dead Metheny
Part 3: Kicking Horse on Brokenhill
Deliver us from the gathering storm
Unworthy though we are
Leave us living safe and warm
And sheltered in your arms
Fallen out of grace are we
Sinless never more to be
Deliver us from the gathering storm
Unworthy though we are
Deliver us from the shadows and fear
And brighten us our night
O lift us out of the valley of sin
And leave our path in light
Part 4: String Loop Manufactured During Downpour
