B-52s Mesopotamia Lyrics

Mesopotamia Lyrics

Turn your watch
Turn your watch back
About a hundred thousand years
A hundred thousand years
IÕll meet you by the third pyramid
IÕll meet you by the third pyramid
Ah come on, thatÕs right, I want
For me in Mesopotamia

WeÕre going down to meet it
 I ainÕt no student
Feel those vibrations
 Of ancient culture
I know a neat excavation
 Before I talk I should read a book
 But thereÕs one thing That I do know
 ThereÕs a lot of ruins In Mesopotamia

 Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law
 They laid down the law
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
 Six or eight thousand years ago
 They laid down the law
aa aa aa aa aa aaa

IÕll meet you by the third pyramid
IÕll meet you by the third pyramid
Ah come on, thatÕs right, I want
For me in Mesopotamia

WeÕre going down to meet it
 Now I ainÕt no student
Hear those vibrations
 Of ancient culture
I know a neat excavation
 Before I talk I should read a book
Mesopotamia thatÕs where I wanna go
 But thereÕs one thing that I do know
Mesopotamia thatÕs where I wanna go
 ThereÕs a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia

 Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law
 They laid down the law
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
 Six or eight thousand years ago
 They laid down the law
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
 In Mesopotamia
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
 They laid down the law
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
 In Mesopotamia
aa aa aa aa aa aaa
