Lyrics Lori McKenna – Fake Plastic Trees
Text:
Her green plastic watering can
She bought for her rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
She bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
To get rid of itself
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
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic girl
But I can’t fight the feeling
I’d just blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time
