Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic watering can
her fake chinese 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

it wears her out...

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

and it wears him out...

She lookd 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

and it wears me out...

If I could be who you wanted all the time...
