Fake Plastic Trees Lyrics - Marillion

(Let's meet up and get beat up) 

Well she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash 

And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend 

And I really tried my best to get across to her 

But nothing she would say could be defended 

Well her birthday suit it was her only present 

When I looked into her eyes - no history 

And I told her eating people wasn't pleasant 

But she laughed a snake eye laugh and walked away from me 

And I watched her as she walked across the coals 

I watched her as she walked across the coals 

Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird 

And I'm your nightmare surfer babe 

Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 

'You still looking for the perfect microwave? 

So I really did my best to get across to her 

I said: "One day every pebble hits the beach" 

And I kissed her face and held her like a long-lost friend 

But she was too far out there to be reached 

To be reached 

She was too far out there 

She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird 

I'm your nightmare surfer babe 

Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 

'You still looking for the perfect microwave? 

And the sun came up over the mountain 

And the waves rolled in across the bay 

And the fabulous brightly-coloured birds flew up out of the forest 

And she said "Well we're all heaven's beautiful children living together in paradise 

Lie down my dear... you're going to enjoy this" 

And she looked like she'd had sex 

With a Tyrannosaurus Rex 

Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird, old man 

I'm your nightmare surfer babe 

Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 

'You still looking for that perfect microwave? 

Perfect microwave 

And I watched her as she walked across the coals... 

And the sun came up over the mountain 

And the waves rolled in across the bay 

And the fabulous brightly-coloured birds flew up out of the forest 

And she said "Well we're all heaven's beautiful children living together in paradise 

Lie down my dear... you have enjoyed this"
