Mesopotamia - The B-52's

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

(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

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

In Mesopotamia.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa

They laid down the law.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa

In Mesopotamia.
