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
