The Mess We're In Songtext
von PJ Harvey

Can you hear them? The helicopters?
I′m in New York, no need for words now
We sit in silence, you look me in the eye directly
You met me, I think it's Wednesday
The evening, the mess we′re in now

(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me

Night and day
I dream of making love to you now, baby
Lovemaking on screen
Impossible dream and I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The free way, reminding of
This mess we're in now

(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me


(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me

What were you wanting? (What was it you wanted?)
I just want to say (I just want to say)
(Don't ever change) don′t ever change now, baby
I′m begging, and thank you (and thank you)
(I don't think we will meet again) I don′t think we will meet again
I really must leave now

Before the sun rises (you must leave now)
Above the skyscrapers (before the sunrise)
And the city bounce again
And comes into being (above skyscrapers)
Sweat on my skin, oh
This mess we're in

(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
(Oh-oh) the city sun sets over me
