The relative commercial failure of the second single, "Coldsweat," meant that the Sugarcubes never got an opportunity to properly build on their momentum while on tour.

Einar
Meat meat blood blood sweat sweat meat
Björk
I close the door
shouldn’t burn yet
the wires get hotter
palms are glowing
This is hot meat
this is metallic blood
this is hot meat
this is : open sweat
I’ll show you with my fingers
draw with the eye
with your own breath
I’ll tear your lungs
Here is hot meat
this is metallic blood
here is hot meat
this is : open sweat
Einar
This side of the blackest meadows
I make my winter dwelling
and crush my bones
Björk
This is hot meat
this is metallic blood
this is : hot meat
I’ll sail out the window
I’ll walk down the edge
I will not finish
till I’m fully satisfied
This is hot meat
this is metallic blood
this is hot meat
this is : open sweat
