Notes
- The song "Touch Like Angel of Death" ends at 4:05. After 1 minute and 55 seconds of silence, a short keyboard passage is played by Alexi and Alexander in unison. This track is officially known as "Coda" and samples a melody from the theme to Miami Vice.
- The original pressing of the album contains an eighth track titled "Bruno the Pig", consisting simply of 10 seconds of silence.
