Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
[Verse 3]
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the 80s
But gravity always wins
[Verse 4]
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
[Verse 5]
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
[Verse 6]
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
[Verse 7]
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
[Verse 8]
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time
Written by: Jonathan Richard Guy Greenwood, Edward John O'Brien, Colin Charles Greenwood, Thomas Edward Yorke, Philip James Selway
