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 And it wears him out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears...
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
If I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time, all the time
The looking glass so shiny and new How quickly the glamor fades I start spinning slipping out of time Was that the wrong pill to take You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up But will it ever be enough It´s not enough
Here I am a rabbit hearted girl Frozen in the headlights It seems I´ve made the final sacrifice
We raise it up this offering We raise it up
This is a gift it comes with a price Who is the lamb and who is the knife When Midas is king and he holds me so tight And turns me to gold in the sunlight
I look around but I can´t find you If only I could see your face Instead of rushing towards the skyline I wish that I could just be brave
I must become a lion hearted girl Ready for a fight Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up this offering We raise it up
This is a gift it comes with a price Who is the lamb and who is the knife When Midas is king and he holds me so tight And turns me to gold in the sunlight
Raise it up raise it up
And in the spring I shed my skin And it blows away with the changing wind The waters turn from blue to red As towards the sky I offer it
This is a gift it comes with a price Who is the lamb and who is the knife Midas is king and he holds me so tight And turns me to gold in the sunlight
