This version of The Downward Spiral song “Reptile” has more loop layering, no intro, and an instrumental chorus after the regular choruses. It appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese release of Further Down the Spiral and as a March of the Pigs single b-side.
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
Devils speak of the ways 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
Reptile!
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
Reptile!
Reptile!
