The Only Answer Lyrics - Jimmies Chicken Shack

By Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing 

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 

and 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
