Song | I'll Sink Manhattan |
Artist | They Might Be Giants |
Album | Then: The Earlier Years |
Vocal:John Flansburgh | |
I'll sink Manhattan | |
Right under the sea | |
I'll find the sweetest spot to watch | |
As it goes away | |
You were so happy | |
With the things that you said | |
Like, 'He's my lower half,' you laughed | |
But you're going to cry | |
A river of tiny tears flow from your crocodile eyes | |
Too late to apologize, I say, as flood waters rise | |
I'll sink Manhattan | |
I'll sacrifice friends | |
I think they'd understand my plan | |
I'll never be sure | |
I've got a message | |
So before I get through | |
I'll find your answering machine | |
And I'll sink it first | |
Burn your forget-me-nots | |
Admit that true love can die | |
No, I won't apologize, my love, just kiss me goodbye |

I' ll sink Manhattan | |
Right under the sea | |
I' ll find the sweetest spot to watch | |
As it goes away | |
You were so happy | |
With the things that you said | |
Like, ' He' s my lower half,' you laughed | |
But you' re going to cry | |
A river of tiny tears flow from your crocodile eyes | |
Too late to apologize, I say, as flood waters rise | |
I' ll sink Manhattan | |
I' ll sacrifice friends | |
I think they' d understand my plan | |
I' ll never be sure | |
I' ve got a message | |
So before I get through | |
I' ll find your answering machine | |
And I' ll sink it first | |
Burn your forgetmenots | |
Admit that true love can die | |
No, I won' t apologize, my love, just kiss me goodbye |
