The Perfect Drug

The track has also been included on international singles "We're in This Together, Part 3" and "Into the Void" without the ending truncated; the only audio release of it in North America being on the Lost Highway soundtrack.[4] In May 2004, a fan posted on the band's website to ask whether the track had not been performed live because "the drum solo would make Jerome's arms fall off".[5] While guest hosting an episode of the British late-night Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 in April 2005, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor answered questions sent in by fans.Other references include an unidentified painting resembling Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (1907–1908) and a "Scanning Machine" designed by Frenchman François Willème in 1860.The European, Australian, and Japanese releases append the original version of the song, while a promotional vinyl set adds an exclusive sixth remix, by Aphrodite.
