Fake Plastic Trees Lyrics

A green plastic watering can For a fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery On the girls in the eighties But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears
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
And 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
