Alex Cornell covers Tinashe's "Mayday," a song about a relationship falling apart. Two vocal parts trade lines over lyrics about an impending breakup.

Listen, I ever ever thought I'd lose my calm.
No, I fucked up. I fucked up. I'm sorry about that. Ready?
Listen, I ever ever thought that it would come. Ever, ever thought I'd lose my common sense, but oh, I lost it with you. Listen, you love to be the cause of all the turbulence, love to be the captain of the argument, but oh, I'm done flying with you. Baby. I could save this thing and land us safely, but I forget you're wicked and you're lazy, and now you hate me. We're going down. Won't you please pull up, Houston? We're breaking up. Don't you see we're headed down, down, headed down, down? Yeah. Houston, we're breaking up. Don't you see we're headed down, down, headed down, down? Mm-hmm.
