A green plastic watering can
For a 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 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
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And 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 love
But I can't help the feeling
I could 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
이 사회가 원하는, 그 누군가가 원하는, 또는 내가 원한다고 착각하는(누군가 제시해준 이상향을 쫓는), 그 모습에 맞춰가다보면, 결국 내 자신의 본 모습은 닳아 없어져간다.
나중에는 내 원래 모습이 어떠했는지조차 잊어버린다.
그리곤 이렇게 생각한다. '좋아, 내가 점점 자라고 있구나'
'나는 점점 내 자신을 잃고 있다.'
