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

(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. ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa
