Only Answer Lyrics by Mike Doughty
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Upon the rails among the weeds
I had a moment of serenity
I saw you stand in all the green
Upon the rusting rail balancing

You were the only answer
My plans spun all around you
Five years in the wrong, I am assured
My name to you is just another word

In your bed in Morristown
You had magazines thrown around
From under them the phone it rang
And in the margin there you wrote the number down

You were the only answer
My plans spun all around you
Five years in the wrong, I am assured
My name to you is just another word, another word, another word

The only answer, another word
The only answer
The only answer
The only answer
Upon the rails among the weeds   I had a moment of serenity   I saw you stand in all the green   Upon the rusting rail balancing      You were the only answer   My plans spun all around you   Five years in the wrong, I am assured   My name to you is just another word      In your bed in Morristown   You had magazines thrown around   From under them the phone it rang   And in the margin there you wrote the number down      You were the only answer   My plans spun all around you   Five years in the wrong, I am assured   My name to you is just another word, another word, another word      The only answer, another word   The only answer   The only answer   The only answer
