Ok... if you don't know, Useful Idiot exists for you to tune your ears to a different listening level, so that when 46&2 begins, you are able to focus in more to the whispering of Mr. Keenan.
I've done my best to understand exactly what he is saying, but it's still difficult to work out. This is what I have so far though.
Take My, Take My Shadow (something: Will You?)
Take (Let?) Me Know my shadow
Thats the first time... The second time...
Take me Take me shadow (shallow vessel?)
Take me closer to meet him.
Has anyone else been able to get a better understanding of the lyrics?

Okay you guys, i'm almost positive this is what Maynard says... "Join in my, Join in my child (and) listen... Digging through, my old numb shadow" that's sounds about right listen close and you can hear it...
i think it goes:
join in my, join in my shadow
shadow moves closer to me
but im listening to a live version right now so he might have varied the words a bit.
yea, i noticed that in the live verion he does change the words, cuz i have 3 diferent live verions and he's says what it sounds like your saying, but it's different from the cd...
what sk8ingknot4659 said is exactly true, good job. its weird, it all makes sense after i see what the lyrix are, its makes you wonder why you didnt understand them before
