Reptile

From The Downward Spiral (Deluxe Edition)1994

Written by Trent Reznor

Produced by Flood, Trent Reznor

Lyrics

Reptile

She spreads herself wide open To let the insects in She leaves a trail of honey To show me where she's been She has the blood of reptile Just underneath her skin Seeds from a thousand others Drip down from within Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh Devils speak of The way in which she'll manifest Angels bleed from The tainted touch of my caress Need to contaminate To alleviate this loneliness I now know The depths I reach are limitless Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure

Nine Inch Nails on Dork

Trent Reznor and Boys Noize have announced a ‘Nine Inch Noize’ collaborative release

It's born from the Peel It Back Tour's B-stage interludes with Boys Noize.

Watch Nine Inch Noize make their live debut with a full set at Coachella

A full collaborative album carrying the 'HALO 38' tag arrives later this month.

Jack White has joined the Coachella 2026 bill as organisers confirm weekend one set times

The full weekend one schedule is confirmed for the California desert festival, including how to watch online.

Trent Reznor has walked back his comments about Nine Inch Nails stopping touring

New music is apparently in the works, and further touring remains a possibility.
