Yeah, that was one of two tracks (along with "Liepzig") that were originally on the American version. The 2009 CD/DVD reissue collects everything and then some. Still love this album and find it incredibly evocative.

yea that 2009 version is incredible. but I don't think this is the original "Urges". this is so strange. great find!

My first instinct was someone made a goofy mash-up but it's legit!

Side A definitely brings it. Who knew he could write songs like that?

But "Flying North" is king.

Metal bird dip wing of fire
Whose airlanes comb dark Earth
The poles are tethers we were born in
On the brink of a whole new deal
On the floor of a Pan Am bar
I'm staring right into the light
And I'm drawn in like a moth
And I'm flying North again...
