No, it's not colored vinyl and it doesn't come in a gatefold. It's a black circle inside a square sleeve. Inside a nice plastic cover (not shrinkwrap).

But Rene Cruz's artwork is gorgeous. When you see it and hold it, you'll be glad you bought one.

lyrics

I like where you're going
I mark my map
I post your instructions
On an internet site
I dig carpal tunnels
In my own small hands
Playing hurt in the city
Playing dead for the man

Walk miles undercover
Wear a suit and tie
We pray for our brothers
On a cash cell phone
We know what we're doing
But we don't know why
Taking orders from each other
And the deep blue sky

We told all the people to wait here
We told all the people to wait here

We stood in a circle
'Til the sun went down
Laying hands on each other
And our ears to the ground
We know who we love
But we don't know why
We trust in a lover
Who's a thief in the night

We told all the people to wait here
We told all the people to wait here

We slept in the city
All by ourselves
Making love to each other
Eating breakfast in bed
When we looked in the mirror
We found our voice
Because you can't do nothing
That we couldn't do better ourselves
