They Might Be Giants - Answer lyrics

Year after year Though every dream of a pony would end in tears The cake was lit and as you blew the candles out Your heart refilled And every year Your dream was k**ed It may take an ocean of whiskey and time To wash all of the letdown out of your mind And this may not be the thing you requested but I Am the answer to all your prayers All this time interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs When will you recognize that I am the answer to all your prayers You ordered well They brought you medium rare You were promised fair And in response a clap of thunder broke the air The weather changed The sky went black And then it rained It may take an ocean of whiskey and time To wash all of the letdown out of your mind And this may not be the item you selected but I Am the answer to all your prayers All this time the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs When will you realize that I am the answer to all your prayers It might seem like a thankless existence But don't lose hope just yet You'll be remembered for your persistence And this is the thanks you get You wanted tall I came in under 5′4″ Then you asked for dark I tend to sunburn a lot As for handsome, well Can't help you there So make of it what you will It may take an ocean of whiskey and time To wash all of the letdown out of your mind And I may not be the one you expected but I Am the answer to all your prayers All this time interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs When will you get that I am the answer to all your prayers All this time the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs It should be clear to you by now that I am the final answer to all your prayers
