“‘Ritchie Sacramento’’s title came from a misunderstanding a friend of ours had about how to say Ryuichi Sakamoto,” Stuart Braithwaite said in a statement. “The lyrics were inspired by a story Bob Nastanovich shared about his friend and bandmate David Berman who proclaimed ‘Rise Crystal Spear’ as he threw a shovel at a sports car. The song is dedicated to all the musician friends we’ve lost over the years.”

Rise crystal spear flied through over me
Suddenly gone from here, left alone on the road
What brings you back? Promises of a memory
Your own ghost running away with the past
Disappear in the sun
All gone, all gone
It took a while just to think
Of home, of home
My oldest friend that I barely knew
So much fun hanging around in the dark
You stop time, managed to somehow find a way
Out of here, dagger in everyone’s heart
Disappear in the sun
All gone, all gone
It took a while just to think
Of home, of home
Disappear in the sun
All gone, all gone
It took a while just to think
Of home, of home
