Synthetic love
The flames were celluloid
Synthetic love
Just barely humanoid
Synthetic love
The feelings simulated
Synthetic love
Artificially stimulated
Synthetic love
Latex and elastic
Synthetic love
Rubber and plastic
See
The awesome red rainbow
That trails down their faces
Erasing all traces
Of shame or desire
Hear
The dried peals of laughter
Devoid of emotion
They're croaking of oceans
Of terminal ennui
It was dark as a funeral parlor
With the rose-windowed sun on your collar
And the black-suited gentlemen callers
Took you and the flowers away
