Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic watering canFor her fake Chinese rubber plantIn the fake plastic earthThat she bought from a rubber manIn a town full of rubber plansTo get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her outIt wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken manA cracked polystyrene manWho just crumbles and burnsHe used to do surgeryFor girls in the eightiesBut gravity always wins
It wears him out, it wears him outIt wears him out, it wears
She looks like the real thingShe tastes like the real thingMy fake plastic loveBut I can't help the feelingI could blow through the ceilingIf I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me outIt wears me out, it wears me out
And if I could be who you wantedIf I could be who you wanted all the time
