Fake Plastic Trees Songtext
von Amythyst Kiah

A green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
She bought it from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

And 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
Oh, he used to do surgery
For the girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins


And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears

He looks like the real thing
He tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
Oh, but I can′t fight this feeling
I can 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
Oh, no, no
