Blue - Lyrics - A Perfect Circle

A Perfect Circle is an American rock supergroup formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. The original incarnation of the band also included Paz Lenchantin on bass, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, and Tim Alexander on drums, with Josh Freese being the band's primary drummer after the band's initial round of touring prior to their first album. The latest lineup features Puscifer and Ashes Divide bassist Matt McJunkins, former guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha and Puscifer, Ashes Divide and Filter touring drummer Jeff Friedl. Despite having a varied cast since inception, the stylistic content of the songs has remained consistent with Howerdel as composer, and Keenan penning the lyrics and melodies.

I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know Best to keep things in the shallow end 'Cause I never quite learned how to swim I just didn't want to know Didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want Close my eyes just to look at you Taken by the seamless vision And I, close my eyes, ignore the smoke Ignore the smoke, ignore the smoke Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you Because I don't want to know I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know I just didn't want Mistook their nods for an approval Just ignore the smoke and smile Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a perfect color for your eyes Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you I don't want to know
