plastic fantastic lover
surrealistic pillow, 1967
music and lyrics: marty balin
in e minor
lead guitar solos in e minor pentatonic
E7
Her neon mouth with the blinking soft smile
Is nothing but an electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She’s part of a colorful time
Am D
Super-sealed lady, chrome-color clothes
Am D
You wear 'cause you have no other
Am D
But I suppose no one knows
B
You're my plastic fantastic lover
E7
Your rattlin' cough never shuts off
Is nothin' but a used machine
Your aluminum finish, slightly diminished
Is the best I ever have seen
Am D
Cosmetic baby plugged into me
And never ever find another
Am D
And I realize no one's wise
B
To my plastic fantastic lover
E7 The electrical dust is starting to rust Her trapezoid thermometer taste All the red tape is mechanical rape Of the TV program waste Am D Data control and IBM Am Science is mankind's brother But all I see is drainin' me B On my plastic fantastic lover
