By and Down the River
A Perfect Circle
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you

Showing only bits and pieces
'Till the light betray you and your empty elocution

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility

Searching your eyes for a hint or trace
I've been searching your eyes for humility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I'm still searching, searching

Showing only bits and pieces
'Till the tide betrays you and your empty elocution
Float the Piper by and down the river
Carcass crippled underneath the pounding waves of adoration

Pied Piper, float on down the river
Bloated carcass crippled 'neath, the weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
