The B-52s: "Mesopotamia" Lyrics

Turn your watch, turn your watch back,

About a hundred thousand years

A hundred thousand years.



I'll meet you by the third pyramid

I'll meet you by the third pyramid

Ah come on, that's what I want, we'll meet

In Mesopotamia, oh oh oh



(We're goin' down to meet) I ain't no student

(Feel those vibrations) Of ancient culture

(I know a neat excavation) Before I talk

I should read a book.

But there's one thing I do know,

There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia.



Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa..

Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa..



I'll meet you by the third pyramid.

I'll meet you by the third pyramid.

Ah come on, that's what I want, we'll meet

In Mesopotamia, oh oh oh
