Fake Plastic Trees
[Verse 1]
Her green plastic watering can
She bought for her rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
She bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

[Chorus 1]
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

[Verse 2]
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

[Chorus 2]
It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

[Verse 3]
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic girl
But I can't fight the feeling
I'd just blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
[Chorus 3]
It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

[Outro]
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time
