The song has always been performed with the beep melody as an introduction, though sometimes without the machine loop collage. During the second quiet bridge, Reznor often sings "please don't hurt me," followed by a desperate cry. During the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self Destruct tours]], the band would be bathed in green light and reptilian "scales" would be projected onto them. On the [[Year Zero Warm-Up Tour]], the intro was further extended with a more articulate sound and Reznor whispering over it.
This song was also reworked and featured in the [http://www.nin.com/current/radioshows/index.html Boston, Massachusetts radio performance] ([[Peter Murphy]], Reznor, [[Atticus Ross]], and [[Jeordie White]]) on [[2006/06/23 Boston, MA (Radio show)|June 23, 2006]], with its ending transitioning into a cover of "Haunted When the Minutes Drag" by Love and Rockets. The drum loops used in this iteration seem to use the same sound set and a similar beat as those in "[[The Good Soldier]]."
