Lyrics

    I'm going to get so high
    You'll never get inside
    I swore I'd never turn into you
    I'm closer all the time
    
    I made it 10 miles high
    Can't tell my truth from my lies
    I swore to god I would never turn into you
    I'm getting closer... all the time
    
    Tear it all down tear it all down tear it
    all down tear it all down

Reznor also repeats two of the phrases during the introduction of the song, unprinted in the lyrics:

    I'm getting closer... all the time
    
    I tried to get so high
