Fake Plastic Trees
[Verse 1]
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plants
In a fake, plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
To get rid of herself
[Chorus]
And it wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
[Verse 2]
She lives with her broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
[Chorus]
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears
[Verse 3]
She looks like the real thing
And she tastes like the real thing
But fake plastic love
And I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
[Chorus]
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
[Outro]
If I could be who you wanted
And if I could be who you wanted all the time
All the time
