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 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 love
But I can't help the feeling
I could 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...
All the time...

Watching The Wheels (acoustic version)







People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
They give me all kinds of warnings
Save me from ruins

When I say that I'm ok
Well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now
you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me

Tell them I'm doing fine 
watching shadows on the wall
Well don't you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry go round
I just had to let it go

People asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem
Only solution
Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry I'm just sittin here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry go round
I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go.
