A short filler track!
Lyrics:
30 seconds to midnight

half a minute to tomorrow

30 seconds to midnight
i don't want another day

This, folks, is the very first Frankenstein Sound Lab track, all the way from 2000 - pre-computer days, this was recorded on an ordinary cassette recorder. Listening to it prior to posting, I think it actually stands up quite well today.
