The B-52's
Mesopotamia
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
(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 that I do know
There's a lot of ruin in Mesopotamia
Hey

[Post-Chorus]
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law
Six or eight thousand years ago (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha)
They laid down the law (Ha-ha ha)

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
(We're goin' down to meet) Now I ain't no student
(Feel those vibrations) Of ancient culture
(I know a neat excavation) Before I talk
I should read a book (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
But there's one thing that I do know (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)
There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia

[Post-Chorus]
Six or eight thousand years ago (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha)
They laid down the law (Ha-ha ha)
Six or eight thousand years ago (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha)
They laid down the law (Ha-ha ha)
In Mesopotamia (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha)
They laid down the law (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha)
In Mesopotamia (Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha)
