==Connection to NIN==
[[Trent Reznor]] and Amos originally met in mutual admiration for each other's respective debut albums, sometime in the early nineties. They recognized similar approaches in emotional expression, despite vastly different musical styles. Both artists influenced the other's work in some way; Reznor even admitted that he would listen to ''Little Earthquakes'' every day while recording ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' [http://www.thanatopsic.org/music/trivial/tori-trent-rmta.html] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcMEKppnpV8] From there a collaboration formed: Reznor contributed vocals to Amos's single "Past The Mission" for her 1994 album ''Under The Pink.'' His vocals on the track were uncharacteristically, and somewhat unrecognizably, soft and pleasant, and sang low in the mix of the song's choruses. The song was about finding hope in a relationship after trauma, as well as the supposed relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus.
Amos has also performed the first two lines of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" in concert—mainly between 1994 and 1999—and has made allusions to Nine Inch Nails in her solo work, most notably in "Precious Things" from ''Little Earthquakes'' and "Caught a Lite Sneeze" from ''Boys for Pele.''

==Lyrics to "Past the Mission"==
I don't believe I went too far
I said I was willing, willing, willing
She said she knew what my books did not
I thought she knew what's up
Past the mission, behind the prison tower
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission and I smell the roses
She said they all think they know him well
She knew him better, better, better
Everyone wanted something from him
Well I did too, but I shut my mouth
And he just gave me a smile
Past the mission, behind the prison tower
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission and I smell the roses
Past the mission and I smell the roses
Hey, they found a body
Not sure it was his, still they're using his name
And she gave him shelter
And somewhere I know she knows
Somewhere I know she knows
Somethings only she knows
Past the mission, behind the prison tower
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission and I smell the roses
Past the mission, behind the prison tower
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission and I smell the roses
Past the mission and I smell the roses
Past the mission and I smell the roses
