Melatonin
don't forget that you are our son
now go back to bed

we just know that you'll do well
you won't come to harm

death to all who stand in your way
wake my dear

Based first on the keyboards and then a drum line, this track never caught on with fans. It's an interesting piece, though- the lyrics take the perspective of parents watching over their son. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the body to regulate sleeping and waking cycles, but its production decreases with age. A hormone supplement has now been formulated that compensates for this decrease.
