"The New Flesh" is a song exclusive to the vinyl version of The Fragile, disc 1 of the European and Japanese We're In This Together single, and the Australian Into The Void single. On the vinyl edition of The Fragile, "The New Flesh" came immediately after "Complication" and before "I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally." Its most recognizable elements (the bassline, clock sounds, and synth whine) were used to form much of the menu music for the DVD version of And All That Could Have Been.

Complications Of The Flesh

This remix, created by Danny Lohner, combines "The New Flesh" with "Complication" and appears exclusively on Part 3 of the We're In This Together single.

Live

Although the song has never been performed live in its entirety, starting from the Fragility tour, instrumental portions were cross faded into "Pinion" to form a prerecorded introduction, sometimes with Trent Reznor singing, "Give it to me, I can take it!"

Lyrics

    I can take it
    Sideways
    Sometimes
    Some things
    Feel like
    I'm on the other side
    Waves
    Of every feeling ever felt
    Come screaming
    
    Hold it close
    (So) I can taste it
    
    I've watched this scene a thousand times
    And in my head
    This is how it all begins
    Yes, I am becoming
    And this is how it all begins
    What did you expect?
    This is not an exit
    This has begun
    
    I can almost see
    The blackest eyes
    The new flesh
    A new disguise
    ...Welcoming...
    
    Please
    
    Give it to me
    I can take it
    Give it to me
    
    I've become alive
