'Get to know me'  Is the obvious refrain  But never quite so plain  In the hands of a skilled artisan   'Get to know me'  Is the novice's refrain  In a traveling puppet show  Tying strings everywhere you go    A pause means  He's said something profound  Give it a minute  To let it sink down    Meet the Situation Artist  Shake hands with yourself  (It's you and nobody else)  Meet the Situation Artist  Shake hands with yourself    good to meet you  want to see you  want to be you  want to take things that you have  want to show you  that i know what you'll think before you do     'Get to know me'  The monster in the mirror begs  If you can't convince yourself  How can you convince anybody else?    'Get to know me'  Sold in every handshake  It's a six billion sided war  With a front at everyone's front door    Leaflet dropped behind enemy lines:  'You'll be better off on my side'    Meet the Situation Artist  Shake hands with yourself  (It's you and nobody else)  Meet the Situation Artist  And shake hands with yourself    I've heard every word that you said
