Plastic Rainbow

(album: Mermaid Vs. Sailor - 2007)

I have let you melt me down
Into a plastic rainbow
And I have left myself to hang
In a halloween sky

I let you tattoo a frown
Onto a face of white snow
Now I see footprints of a man
Running through my eyes

Do I despise these perfect lies
I tell myself each night and day
Go kiss by blackened heart goodbye
I'm running out of things to play

Hey, see I need to forget
That I've become a plastic rainbow
And I'm melting in the sun
And I have fallen from the sky
In a million multi-coloured lies

I've had enough of your ideals, ideals yeah

I'm gonna break her like a Barbie Doll
Push her face down in the dirt
Blue Maybelline mascara
Is running down my favourite shirt

And whoever thought that messing with me
Was ever gonna hurt?
Your plastic swords, too many times
In black suspenders and her mini-skirts

Do I despise these perfect lies
I tell myself each night and day
Go kiss by blackened heart goodbye
I'm running out of things to play

Hey, see I need to forget
That I've become a plastic rainbow
And I'm melting in the sun
And I am falling from the sky
In a million multi-coloured lies

I've had enough of your ideals, ideals yeah

Yeah, I became a plastic rainbow
Yeah, I fell from the sky
In a million multi-coloured lies
Your commerce helped for a while
But now all I seem to do is...
Smile

Do I smile.
