Description
This song is based on Eugene O'Neill's play "A Moon For The Misbegotten". It deals with self-destructive behavior of all sorts. It's meant to be listened at maximum volume. This is a stereo recording. The vocal is a live take and was recorded in parallel with the rhythm guitar. That is why there is a clipping noise on the vocal track which is there for authenticity.

Here come Hickey with a roll of dough Tryin' to raise a celebration They're not gonna take it anyhow They don't need no new messiah. Jimmy Tyrone says goodbye to life Tryin' to drown his desperation Mother Mary needs another shot They are in for a long night. Listen to the hunted ...
