Fake Plastic Trees Song Lyrics
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earthThat she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itselfIt wears her out
It wears her out It wears her out It wears her outShe lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burnsHe used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties But gravity always winsAnd it wears him out
It wears him out It wears him out It wearsShe looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic loveBut I can’t help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and runAnd it wears me out
It wears me out It wears me out It wears me out And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time All the time
