Fake Plastic Trees


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 itslef...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 could just turn and run...and it wears me out

If I could be who you wanted all the time
