The B-52's - With the Wild Crowd! Live in Athens, GA

Mesopotamia

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 that 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!)
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law! (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

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!)
Six or eight thousand years ago
They laid down the law (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
In Mesopotamia! (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
They laid down the law (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
In Mesopotamia! (Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
