Lyrics

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
