OLD WOMAN

Lyrics

Angel, answer my prayer
 Answer my prayer tonight
 Tell me if anyone cares
 If I do what I might
 Angel, answer my prayer
 And tell me if anyone else
 Knows how much I am scared
 That I might murder myself
 Who will take care of my plants?
 Maybe Martha will take care of them
 She called on Mother's Day and has a philodendron and a few ferns
 They look terrible though, just like her house
 She never dusts her leaves
 What about Berta?
 She's been married three times,
 how can she possibly take care of four kids?
 They'll die - I just know these bugs will get them
 Aphids - you have to watch for them all the time, they don't care
 Sent Teddy seven fifty for his birthday last week, no thank-you note
 It's all Martha's fault
 She's not raising those children right
 How long would it be until they noticed?
 A week, two weeks, maybe months
 I know why, I know why they ignore me
 Martha pretends that she doesn't care anymore but I know better
 And she's poisoned Berta against me too!
 He was old and could barely hop around
 And Mark would sure never have done it
 Poor thing
 Somebody had to do it
 Somebody had to
