They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants (sometimes abbreviated as TMBG) is an American alternative band formed in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell. During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell were frequently accompanied by a drum machine. In the early 1990s, TMBG became a full band. Currently, the members of TMBG are Flansburgh, Linnell, Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. They are best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music. Over their career, the group has found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts. More recently they have found success in children's music, and in theme music for several television programs and films. more »

it had been going so well
and then I broke my eggshell
and entered the world as a brontosaurus
brontosaurus, brontosaurus

here's my entire autobiography: I was
skinny at first, then I got thick, and then back to
being skinny again like a brontosaurus
like a brontosaurus

life was devoid of purpose
and so I joined the circus
somehow they found it easy to ignore us
people found it easy to ignore this
brontosaurus, brontosaurus

you want to leave an impression
you want to express an emotion
you crave some attention
and for this transgression you'll be repaid when
you fall and you fail and sink into depression

it was as dark as get out
I went and stuck my neck out
wearing an expression of optimism
optimism and bad vision 

do you think this tale has gone on for too long?
join the chorus, you can join the chorus
can't cut it as an artist
maybe I'm too sensitive
who would have believed skin could be so porous?
brontosaurus skin can be so porous
brontosaurus, brontosaurus
