==Versions==
===Copy Of A===
This is the only known original album version. Opening with a wavering synth line, a simple drum loop sweeps in the first verse. Various percussion loops complicate the arrangement throughout, layering and falling away as the song structure changes parts. Prominent use of vocal looping personifies the title of the track, with the repeating words in the lyrics restarting in time with the song. The chorus is marked by a mellow organ pad. ===Copy Of A (Radio Edit)=Live==This song debuted live on the first night of the [[Nine Inch Nails Live 2013]] tour'''''Running Time: 4:22''''' Coming soon===Copy Of A (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)=Lyrics==I am just a copy of a copy of a copyEverything I say has come beforeAssembled into something into something into somethingI don't know for certain anymoreI am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadowAlways trying to catch up with myselfI am just an echo of an echo of an echoListening to someone's cry for help'''Running Time: 8:22'''''
