Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A green plasticwatering can for a fake chineserubberplant 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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 3]
He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties but GRAVITY always wins and it wears him out.
[Chorus]
it wears him out.
it wears him out.
it wears
[Verse 4]
She Looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing, my fake plastic love.
[Verse 5]
But I Can't Help the Feeling.
I Could Blow 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
