Sinkin' Soon Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MrMike 

Cover art for Sinkin' Soon lyrics by Norah Jones

At first I thought it was about the Titanic. Then I listened closer. Now I'm convinced it's about how we're not taking care of our planet. The words and most of the music are by Lee Alexander, known for his biting satire. Norah wrote the bridge. She's also a promoter of social consciousness. The melodies are stick-in-your-head clever, and the delivery is deceptively smooth as silk.
