Cover

The cover was designed and painted by Taylor's wife, Debi. It was intended to resemble early 20th-century French poster art; however, some Christian book store owners felt that it resembled a tarot card, which sparked controversy.

Track listing

All Songs Written by Steve Taylor. The musical introduction and bridge to "Babylon" were written by Dave Perkins. The ending theme of "Jim Morrison's Grave" was borrowed from Claude Debussy. The introduction to "Harder To Believe" (Vocalise) was stolen from Sergei Rachmaninoff.
