His cancer had been diagnosed since the spring of 1990.[4] Track listing[edit] All Songs were written by Frank Zappa "Elvis Has Just Left the Building" – 2:48 "Brown Shoes Don’t Make It" – 7:26 "The Jazz Discharge Party Hats" – 4:48 "Inca Roads" – 9:38 "Mōggio" – 2:46 "Nite School" – 5:00 "Echidna’s Arf (Of You)" – 3:53 "Hungry Freaks, Daddy" – 3:28 "Heavenly Bank A
