Hear A Perfect Circle Take on Pious Hypocrites With New Song "TalkTalk"

"Get the fuck out of my way," sings Maynard James Keenan on band's latest single

A Perfect Circle — the atmospheric alt-rock group led by Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel — have offered up a third song from their highly anticipated new album Eat the Elephant. Titled "TalkTalk," it slow-builds up from a deceptively placid piano foundation to an intense, declamatory chorus ("... talk like Jesus, talk, talk, talk, talk ... get the fuck out of my way"), which calls out people who preach and pray but aren't walking their talk by taking action — "waiting on miracles" while, in Keenan's words, "we're bleeding out." (See the full lyrics below.)

The song follows up the contemplative "Disillusioned," which was released in January, and the nihilistic stomper "The Doomed." A Perfect Circle will released a limited-edition dual groove 10" vinyl of those two singles on March 9th. You can pre-order it here. The band is scheduled to hit the road in Europe and the U.K. this summer, as well as to play U.S. festivals including Rock on the Range.

Below, watch Maynard James Keenan discuss how sacred geometry and his love of games influences his wine-making and art.

"TalkTalk" lyrics:

You're waiting (you're waiting ...)
On miracles (on miracles ...)
We're bleeding out (bleeding out ...)

Thoughts (thoughts ...)
And prayers (prayers ...)
Adorable (crisis ...)
Like cake in a crisis (in a crisis ...)
We're bleeding out (bleeding out ...)

While you deliberate
Bodies accumulate

Sit and talk like jesus
Try walkin' like jesus
Sit and talk like jesus
Talk like jesus
Talk talk talk talk
Get the fuck out of my way

Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Problem, problem, problem, problem

Faith without works is
Talk without works is
Faith without works is
Talk without works is
Faith without works is
Dead, dead, dead, dead

Sit and talk like jesus
Try walkin' like jesus
Sit and talk like jesus
Try walkin' like jesus
Try braving the rain
Try lifting the stone
Try extending a hand
Try walkin' your talk or get the fuck out of my way
