Plastic Rainbow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 as you 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.
