In the lyrics, where it says, "Well I want to drink it up and swim in it until I drown" Its actually saying "Well I want to "rip" it up and swim in it until I drown" Since I don't still have the album, I don't know if its like that on the lyrics sheet, or if its just a mistake.

:Hm, I always thought he was saying wrap. Still, the lyrics booklet says that. Can someone else come in on what we think he's saying before any edits are done? [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 09:15, 11 March 2011 (PST)
::I would leave the lyrics the way they are printed in the book, and just make a note underneath like we do on other pages where a line ends up recorded differently -[[User:Malechite|Malechite]] 10:28, 11 March 2011 (PST)
:::Well, that's my intention, but I don't actually know what he's saying if there's differing opinion [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 10:59, 11 March 2011 (PST)
::::definitely agreed about "rip," it seems extremely obvious to me on the remastered version. - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 11:02, 11 March 2011 (PST)
:::::I always heard it as "lap it up and swim in it" as that makes a little more sense in the context.--[[User:Leo3375|leo3375]] 11:08, 11 March 2011 (PST)
::::::I'm sure it's "rip", as its sounds like it not only in Pretty Hate Machine, but also Purest Feeling. I put a sample on my site, first from Pretty Hate Machine, then from Purest Feeling [http://www.aldude999.tk/download/onlytime.mp3 here.] [[User:Aldude999|Aldude999]] 22:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
:::::::So, can we change it now? [[User:Aldude999|Aldude999]] 22:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
:::::::don't change the actual lyrics (they are direct copies of what Reznor includes in the booklets, warts and all), but include a note at the bottom of the lyrics about the change, such as how it's done for "[[Zero Sum]]." - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 02:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
