Along with these demos was released a low-quality one-minute recording of a cover of Wes Montgomery's "Little Child", and a fourth song in high-quality, a cover of Charles Manson's "Sick City".

    This is the way I'm about to dine
    I changed my life to feel this way
    I'm falling through everyday
