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.
