Fake Plastic Trees

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Her green plastic watering can For her fake Chinese rubber plant In a fake plastic Earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself [Chorus] 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] And it wears him out It wears him out It wears him out It wears [Verse 3] She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love But 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] And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time All the time
