[Verse 1] When you first saw
You should've known
There was no more
Than what was shown
The way the flowers
Will bloom at night
The fancy thinkin'
That makes it right

[Chorus] What you see is what I am
Take a look at the invisible man
Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed
When you don't know just what you see

[Verse 2] From purple flowers
Shoot silver sparks
In solid air
They make their mark
Across the room
Before they fall
Through the eyes
Of antique dolls

[Chorus] Take a look at what I am
You're looking through an invisible man
Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed
When you don't know just what you see

[Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] The dusty book
That no one reads
The pages torn
The letters read
Upon the cover
These words are penned
Please go away
Don't come again

[Chorus] Oh, what you see is what I am
You're looking through an invisible man
Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed
When you don't know just what you see
So take a look at what I am
You're looking through an invisible man
Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed
When you don't know just what you see
So take a look at what I am
You're looking through an invisible man
Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed
When you don't know just what you see
