Do You Remember?

Springtime truck stop soda, do you remember
the first "I love you?"
Take me to your favourite hide out
Show me your favourite song
Do you remember smelling the flowers with your mother?
Sweet, safe, longing for rainbow paddle pops?
And she's watching your moves,
taking notes on only you.

You're wearing a mask, so baby, how can I see
the look on your face when you say such things to me?
You're coughing up lies, and you don't know what you could catch,
if you're making me sick like this, how are we meant to last?
I need a supersonic, ultra-violet, disinfectant blast--
'cause your sickness makes me sick, and I wanna live!
I'm a good boy playing it safe, I tread so carefully.
I can see the plague a-spreadin', and baby it's not just you and me.
When things don't go your way, that's when I get the glance,
and that's when the virus takes a hold, and we don't stand a chance.
We need an antidote, we need a cure, we all gotta understand,
that the sickness makes me sick, and I wanna live!

Plastic Plants

Plastic plants will never die, even when the pot runs dry.
If only I were Plasticine, then death would be a distant dream.
Everything around me crumbles to dust,
and so I think before I go to sleep, that there must
be a way for everything to stay.
Damn it all! This blood and dirt,
my heart so fragile--it gets hurt.
Everything alive is so vulnerable,
but plastic's indestructible!
If I forget to feed you, you won't love me very much,
but if you were made of plastic, every time that we touch
you'd feel the same.
A plastic world stays the same--
plastic flowers, plastic food
Impervious to wind and rain--
plastic faces, plastic moods
Plastic will never leave you,
plastic is here to stay.
Your pets and friends will turn to dust,
but plastic, buddy, you can trust!
So pump it into your bloodstream,
fill your wrinkles, lift your cheeks.
Plastic goes the extra mile
to give you a never ending smile,
so SMILE!!!!

I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't know what I'm doin'
I think I gotta get outta this town
Gotta pick some fruit and some yoghurt
Gotta pick up some bread and some mince
I think I gotta get outta this town
I gotta get on outta this town
Gotta go to K-mart
Gotta go and play in the park
I think I gotta get outta this town
Gotta buy some coffee for my kitchen
Gotta sweep the floors and mop
I think I gotta get outta this town
