"Ladies and Gentlemen" – 2:55
"You Owe Me an IOU" – 3:04

The album's cover does not list track 13, listing 12 then 14. There is a track 13 on the album, sometimes titled "Four Seconds of Noise," which is merely the final four seconds of the ending guitar riff from "Soldier in a Box."
"Shame on You" – 2:45
"Elevator" – 3:47

Note: Both the back cover of the album and the liner notes list the songs in reverse order. Thus, the track numbers appear as they would in an elevator, with 1 at the bottom, 15 at the top, and a missing thirteenth track, like a missing thirteenth floor button in an elevator.
