Subterraneans

When performed live with NIN, David Bowie sang lyrics from the song "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)" slowly and in his lower register instead of the album lyrics. Trent Reznor may or may not have played saxophone during these performances. This song was always lead in by "Eraser" and followed by "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)."

Lyrics

   Share bride failing star

   Care-line
   Care-line
   Care-line
   Care-line driving me
   Shirley, Shirley, Shirley own

   Share bride failing star

When performed live with NIN on the Dissonance Tour, these lyrics were replaced with lines from "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)," which always followed this song:

    She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat
    When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
    Well she could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do, and she do
    She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
