I'll Sink Manhattan Lyrics
I’ll sink Manhattan
Right under the sea
I’ll find the sweetest spot to watch as it flows away
You were so happy
With the things that you said
Like “he’s my lower half,” you laugh, but you’re gonna find
A river of tiny tears flow from your crocodile eyes
“Too late to apologize,” I say, as floodwater dries
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
Right under the sea
I’ll find the sweetest spot to watch as it flows away
With the things that you said
Like “he’s my lower half,” you laugh, but you’re gonna find
“Too late to apologize,” I say, as floodwater dries
I’ll sacrifice friends
I think they’d understand my plan, I’ll never be sure
So before I get through
I’ll find your answering machine and I’ll sink it first
No I won’t apologize, my love, just kiss me goodbye

he sounds bitter, probably a song about being dumpped.
"tiny tears" = tiny heart, also croc. tears indicates that theres no emotion behind it. Side note - (In greek legends all the heroes wepped great tears everytime something bad happened, there was none of that BS macho crap you see in Troy or Sparta, all the heros had big hearts and wernt afraid to show it)
"hes my lower half" = she sounds like a real ***, refering to him as inferior.
"I’ll sacrifice friends" = if hes willing to sacrafice so much just to get back at her he probably had to sacrafice alot over the course of the relationship.
pretty silly.
Interesting rhyme scheme in the third line of the three-line stanzas.
SPOT to WATCH HALF you LAUGH underSTAND my PLAN answerING maCHINE
Also it's "As floodwaters rise" not "As floodwater dries".
