The first single off of the aforementioned album,{{cite web |url=http://www.typeonegative.net/disc.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000711064748/http://www.typeonegative.net/disc.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2000-07-11 |title=DISCOGRAPHY |publisher=Type O Negative |date=2000 |accessdate=2020-05-02 }} it describes a polyamorous relationship. According to an interview in Livewire, it was written at bandmate Josh Silver's house in a short amount of time.{{cite web |url=http://www.groundzero-brooklyn.com/TON/interviews/intv24_1.html |title=Rust Never Sleeps |last=Keller |first=Jeffrey |publisher=Livewire Magazine |date=1997 |accessdate=2020-05-04 }} With its prominent organ and the almost lighthearted mood throughout, the song much more closely resembles 1960s psychedelic rock than the doom metal that prevails for most of the album.
