A video was released, using the "(short)" remix of the song, which featured two girls dancing with each other at the beginning, cutting to a black and white footage of a woman, naked except for what looks like straps to spelunking gear and a halogen lamp, walking a wrist bound [[Trent Reznor]] with a bag over his head through what looks like an industrial warehouse complex and eventually to strap him into a large rotary harness where she spins him throughout the video. These scenes are intercut with two young gay lovers who eventually fight, a man and woman wearing ritualistic dressings and dancing, as well as visuals of a pierced penis and clitoris, all reflecting the song's dark, sexual aspects. | A video was released, using the "(short)" remix of the song, which featured two girls dancing with each other at the beginning, cutting to a black and white footage of a woman, naked except for what looks like straps to spelunking gear and a halogen lamp, walking a wrist bound [[Trent Reznor]] with a bag over his head through what looks like an industrial warehouse complex and eventually to strap him into a large rotary harness where she spins him throughout the video.

"Sin" is the seventh song from Pretty Hate Machine.
Lyrics
You give me the reason. You give me control. I gave you my Purity. My Purity you stole. Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise. Am I just too stupid to realize. Stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies [Chorus:] It comes down to this. Your kiss. Your fist. And your strain. It get's under my skin. Within. Take in the extent of my sin You give me the anger. You give me the nerve. Carry out my sentence. While I get what I deserve. I'm just an effigy to be disgraced. To be defaced. Your need for me has been replaced. And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste. [Chorus]
The Video
A video was released, using the "(short)" remix of the song, which featured two girls dancing with each other at the beginning, cutting to a black and white footage of a woman, naked except for what looks like straps to spelunking gear and a halogen lamp, walking a wrist bound Trent Reznor with a bag over his head through what looks like an industrial warehouse complex and eventually to strap him into a large rotary harness where she spins him throughout the video. These scenes are intercut with two young gay lovers who eventually fight, a man and woman wearing ritualistic dressings and dancing, as well as visuals of a pierced penis and clitoris, all reflecting the song's dark, sexual aspects.
