Fake Plastic Trees

Su regadera de plástico verde
Her green plastic watering can
Por su falsa planta de caucho chino
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
En la tierra de plástico falso
In the fake plastic earth
Que le compró a un hombre de goma
That she bought from a rubber man
En una ciudad llena de planos de caucho
In a town full of rubber plans
Para deshacerse de sí mismo
To get rid of itself

La desgasta, la desgasta
It wears her out, it wears her out
La desgasta, la desgasta
It wears her out, it wears her out

Vive con un hombre roto
She lives with a broken man
Un hombre de poliestireno agrietado
A cracked polystyrene man
Que simplemente se desmorona y quema
Who just crumbles and burns
Solía hacer cirugía
He used to do surgery
Para las niñas en los años ochenta
For girls in the eighties
Pero la gravedad siempre gana
But gravity always wins

Lo desgasta, lo desgasta
It wears him out, it wears him out
Lo desgasta, lo desgasta
It wears him out, it wears him out

Ella parece la cosa real
She looks like the real thing
Sabe a la cosa real
She tastes like the real thing
Mi falso amor plástico
My fake plastic love
Pero no puedo evitar la sensación
But I can't help the feeling
Podría soplar a través del techo
I could blow through the ceiling
Si me doy la vuelta y corro
If I just turn and run

Me desgasta, me desgasta
It wears me out, it wears me out
Me desgasta, me desgasta
It wears me out, it wears me out

Si pudiera ser quien querías
If I could be who you wanted
Si pudiera ser quien querías todo el tiempo
If I could be who you wanted all the time

Todo el tiempo
All the time...
