Reptile (live) – TRENT REZNOR, PETER MURPHY, ATTICUS ROSS & JEORDIE WHITE

Trent Reznor, Peter Murphy, Atticus Ross, and Jeordie White perform Nine Inch Nails’ “Reptile” live in Boston for a special radio broadcast. From the album Nine Inch Nails & David Bowie – live in 1995. The album contains recordings made on the US leg of David Bowie’s 1995 Outside tour, which featured Nine Inch Nails as support. With both artists trailing new, ground-breaking albums and – despite their generational differences – with their similarity of outlook and mutual respect, it was inevitable that a mix of the Bowie/NIN sound would ensue.

She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she’s been She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within

Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh

Devils speak of the way in which she’ll manifest Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness I now know the depths I reach are limitless

Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh

Oh Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure Oh my beautiful liar (no no noo no no no no) Oh my precious whore (no, no, no, nooo, ohhh) My disease my infection (no no no no noo noo no) I am so impure (no, no, no, no no, noo ahhh)
