The song, since before its initial release while the band was still called Discipline, has been a concert staple. The song's structure tends to change very little in the live setting, if at all. However, the recited lyrics, delivered by Adrian Belew, are often somewhat improvised both in order and sets of words used. Occasionally, Belew would comment on the words.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or versions:
“There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran—”
—Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
