Lyrics

Fake Plastic Trees (triple j Like A Version)

[Verse 1]

A green plastic watering can

For a fake Chinese rubber plant

In a fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubberbands

To get rid of itself

[Chorus]

It wears her out

It wears her out

It wears her out

It wears her out

[Verse 2]

She lives with a broken man

A cracked polystyrene man

Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery

On girls in the eighties

But gravity always wins

[Chorus]

And it wears him out

It wears him out

It wears him out

It wears

[Verse 3]

She looks like the real thing

She tastеs like the real thing

My fakе plastic love

But I can't help the feeling

I could burst through the ceiling

If I just turn and run

[Chorus]

And it wears me out

It wears me out

It wears me out

It wears me out

[Outro]

And if I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted

All the time

All the time, oh
