    genius...very imaginative and abstract, a lot of imagery comes to mind. Never heard anything quite like it. (2)

    It is their best song though. Only things close to it are Junkyard and Mutiny in Heaven.

    How typical and still unique. Strange kind of energy flows through this song... A bit more positive than 'The Curse of Millhaven' haha King Ink strolls into town he sniffs around King Ink kicks off his stink-boot sand and soot and dust and dirt and he's much bigger than you think King Ink King Ink King Ink a wake up a King Ink a get up a King Ink a wake up a King Ink a get up a get up a get up a get up a get up up up up up up up up up up up... a bug crawls up the wall King Ink feels like a bug and he hates his rotten shell (he says) cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha...

    Yup, great song about the trials and tribulations of the creative process. I always listen to this when I can't write, always makes me feel worse, but I like it nevertheless
