Plastic Rainbow lyrics

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 my 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 my 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.
