Lyrics

Her green plastic watering can for her 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

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 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

If I could be who you wanted all the time
