Fake Plastic Trees
Green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic Earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
And it wears her out
Wears her out
Wears her out
Wears her out.
She lives with a broken man
A cracked, polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns...
And he used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears her out
Wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out.
She looks like the real thing
She feels like the real thing
My fake, plastic love.
And I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted
And if I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time.
