With Teeth (Beside You In Time)
This live version is available on the Beside You In Time DVD. Trent Reznor says "the line begins to blur" instead of "the lines begin to blur" and "she comes on strong" instead of "it comes on strong."
Live
"With Teeth" made its live debut on March 23, 2005. It was played at 46 shows (out of 146) during the Live: With Teeth tour, and it was played twice during the Performance 2007 tour. When performed live, it's performed very closely to the album version. Reznor often uses a tambourine during some of the instrumental parts, while Alessandro Cortini is often seen using an acoustic guitar (as in Beside You In Time).
Lyrics
She comes along She gets inside She makes you better than Anything you've tried It's in her kiss The blackest sea It runs deeper than you Dare to dream it could be With teeth She's holding on With teeth Wave goodbye To what you were The rules have changed The lines begin to blur She makes you hard It comes on strong You've finally found The place where you belong With teeth She is the greatest lie of all I can not go through this again With teeth She is the greatest lie of all She will not let you go Keeps holding on This time I'm not coming back
The lines "she's holding on" and "she is the greatest lie of all" in the choruses only appear on the With Teeth lyric poster/PDF.
