The album's liner notes (as well as the song's official YouTube description) feature a verse with lyrics that were changed in the final release.

 Je ne sais pas, burning at the stake
 We never really had a choice at all
+I wonder what it’s like out there
+My eyes are two far away spaceships
+You are a sealed up door
+There’s gotta’ be more to our lives than this
+This girl I like
+I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
+But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
+Yeah, I'm living in L.A
+This girl I like
+I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
+But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
+Yeah, I'm living in L.A
 Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
 And I'm still trying to figure out my life
 Pretending we don't want each other
-Alrighty now
+Alright now
 Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
 And the spider is sucking out my life
 And I'm reaching out to touch her

+I’m back in black
+No one to hold my hand
+It seems that we’re together but alone
+And now I hear the ticking of a clock
+I know we’re going down a slippery slope
+I wonder what it’s like out there
+My eyes are like far away spaceships
+You are a sealed up door
+There’s gotta’ be more to our lives than this
+This girl I like
+We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
+But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
+Yeah I’m living in LA
+This girl I like
+We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
+But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
+Yeah I’m living in LA
 She’ll never say pa’ tell me what I want
 We’ve always been a two way radio
 Hallmark cards written by a sphinx
 We sacrifice our lives for rock and roll
