Complications Of The Flesh
"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, in addition to those elements being combined with Pinion to form the DVD introduction.

Versions
The New Flesh
This is the original version.
The New Flesh (thingsfallingapart.com version)
Used as accompanying music for the official Things Falling Apart website, this short remix was released officially through remix.nin.com as a high quality MP3 in 2007. Also released in this fashion was another, untitled piece of music.
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, instrumental portions were combined with "Pinion" to form a prerecorded introduction for the Fragility tour. Trent Reznor has sung the lyrics "Give it to me, I can take it!" at least once over top of the introduction.
Lyrics
1
I can take it
Sideways
Sometimes
Some things
Feel like
I'm on the other side
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
…screaming
2
Hold it close
(So) I can taste it
3
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
4
I can almost see
The blackest eyes
The new flesh
A new disguise
…Welcoming…
Please
5
Give it to me
I can take it
Give it to me
I can take it
Reznor also repeats an unprinted phrase through the coda of the song, which sounds like:
