    Nine Inch Nails - Ringfiner (Twist)
    This is a real cool song. (Probably my fav. from Pretty Hate Machine)
    If you're working with the "Twist" version, the riffs are essentially the
    same, except that the "Twist" version sounds better (IMO). Since I'm
    so kind, I included the lyrics to both the "Ringfinger" version AND
    the "Twist" version.
    Have fun:)

    "Ringfinger" 

       Lyrics:

    Well you've got me working so hard lately
    Working my hands until they bleed
    If I was twice the man I could be
    I'd still be half of what you need
    Still you lead me and I follow
    Anything you ask you know I'll do
    But this one act of consecration
    Is what I ask of you

    (Ringfinger)
    Promise carved in stone
    Deeper than the sea
    (Ringfinger)
    Sever flesh and bone
    And offer it to me

    You just leave me nailed here
    Hanging like Jesus on this cross
    I'll be dying for your sins
    And aiding to the cause

    (Ringfinger)
    Promise carved in stone
    Depper than the sea
    (Ringfinger)
    Sever flesh and bone
    And offer it to me

    Wrap my eyes in bandages
    Confessions I see through
    I get everything I want
    When I get part of you

    (Ringfinger)
    Promise carved in stone
    Deeper than the sea
    (Ringfinger)
    Sever flesh and bone
    And offer it to me
    (Ringfinger)
    A promise carved in stone
    Deeper than the sea
    (Ringfinger)
    Devil's flesh and bone
    Do something for me

    (Ohhhhh Nah nah nah nah!)

    "Twist"

    Lyrics:

    Well you've got me working so hard lately
    Working my hands until they bleed
    If I was twice the man I could be
    I'd still be half of what you need
    Still you lead me and I follow
    All of your back up to your chin
    Over to tip of your switchblade
    As you pull it out and stick it in

    (Twist, twist, twist)
    We can go a little deeper
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I'm wearing these chains
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    You make it hurt real good 
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I love the pain

    You just leave me nailed here
    Hanging like Jesus on this cross
    I'll be dying for your sins
    And aiding to the cause

    (Twist, twist, twist)
    We can go a little deeper
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I'm wearing these chains
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    You make it hurt real good
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I love the pain

    Wrap my soul in bandages
    I'm tired of this war
    Go ahead and cut me
    I can't even feel it anymore

    (Twist, twist, twist)
    We can go a little deeper
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I'm wearing these chains
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    You make it hurt real good
    (Twist, twist, twist)
    I love the pain

                                THE END
