An early version of Amphibian Days can be heard here, where Kevin performed it solo, with completely different verses:
[Verse 1]
When I got back from the reservation I was all fogged out
My attempts at living cosmically only busted some kind of bridge
Nobody’s ego death ever saved the world, so why...
[Verse 1]
In the pen with the mastiffs
Bred to fight rats in the bowels of the arena
I received a kiss without promise
That produced deformities of happiness
The laughter there is viscous
It leaves a residue down the legs of the chairs
Since you lost the will to hear, they
Get your attention grabbing fistfuls of your hair
[Chorus]
These amphibian days they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
[Verse 2]
The heavens vomited the dawn upon us
As we learned how to occupy photographs
She descended a stairway
Composed of silk and flicked her cigarette
As I sweat through my black hex I saw you two climax
In spasms through a frosted window
You both came in electronics, and
Anthemic bursts of unsanitary flames
[Chorus]
These amphibian days they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
[Verse 3]
If this is Tartarus, which of us is Echidna which one Arakiel?
This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions
That we know only in our cells
I labor to tempt you out of your cage and into my patrol
Until this vessel lands I have decided
To ignore all impulse control
[Chorus]
These amphibian days they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation

That one, I definitely wanted to make something that felt kind of druggy, like druggy country music with strange imagery in the lyrics to capture that late-night vibe. That after-hours country song or whatever. There are some cool Neil Young songs that have that sort of vibe, and I know from reading...
