The Old Woman |
| 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 |
