Verse 1

pencils and erasers. never tell the truth.

 waiting on the table in the corner,

hour upon hour. skin absorbing stains.

 the thing you learn about the tips is.

 when it pours. it rains.

Chorus

 there are times when i feel daring and then. others i feel dumb.

 it's a struggle to maintain my equilibrium.

 you can't have any more coffee if i take away your cup.

 i'm afflicted with madonna complex. i just can't give up, give up.

Verse 2

butter knives and saucers. vinegar and oil.

 keep your wishes fresh with aluminum foil.

confidence deserts you. nothing you can do.

 years go by and hand to mouth can get to you.

Chorus

 it can't be that awful for me. if it only makes me numb.

 it's a struggle to maintain my equilibrium.

 you can't have any more coffee if i take away your cup.

 i'm afflicted with madonna complex. i just can't...... give up
