With Teeth

I once had a huge crush on a dude who was a huge NIN fan. I sort of tolerated the music at the time, but didn't really understand the appeal. I still only sort of get it, but I read a great article about him in The New Yorker a few weeks ago, and then heard this number today:

She comes along
She gets inside
She makes you better than anything you've tried
It's in her kiss
The blackest sea
And it runs deeper than you
Dare to dream it could be

With teeth [x4]

There's definitely something animalistic about this guy on stage, so the fact that the lyrics are a little out there should come as no surprise:

Wave goodbye
To what you were
The rules have changed
The lines begin to blur
She makes you hard
It comes on strong
You finally found
The place where you belong

I cannot go through this again [x8]

She will not let you go
Keeps holding on
She will not let you go
Keeps holding on
This time, I'm not coming back
She will not let you go
This time, I'm not coming back
She will not let you go

I heard that, Trent. I will not let him go.
