Let me paint you a picture
I can’t paint you picture
But I know you’d like me if I could
‘Cause the one that you like can do it pretty good
Let me graffiti your name downtown
I can’t graffiti your name downtown
I would get charged as a vandal
But that guy you have your eye on made it look like a Van Gogh

It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
And I’m just penman running out of ink

Let me design you a new dress
I can’t design you a new dress
You’re never one to drop money on clothes
But if you bought the one he made you’d wear it everywhere you go
Let me come back when I’m skilled enough
I won’t come back when I’m skilled enough
It wouldn’t matter how great I was
I’m just a coffee shop to you he’s like a thousand museums

It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
And I’m just penman running out of ink

Well I’ve seen your comics
Most people haven’t seen your comics
I wanna publish your comics
Although you likely don’t want it
But if he saw your comics
It’d be like I had never seen your comics
You’d want him to publish your comics
And cast me out onto the comets

It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
It’s art store confidential
Art store confidential
You’ll never realize my potential
‘Cause you like guys who draw with pencils
And I’m just penman running out of ink
