Lyrics

[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

Oh come on, that's what I want

We'll meet in Mesopotamia, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

We're going down to meet and feel those vibrations

I know a neat excavation

I ain't no student of ancient culture

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

[Verse 3]

Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law

Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law

[Verse 4]

I'll meet you by the third pyramid, I'll meet you by the third pyramid

Oh come on, that's what I want

We'll meet in Mesopotamia, oh-oh

[Verse 5]

We're going down to meet and feel those vibrations

I know a neat excavation

Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go

Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go

Now I ain't no student of ancient culture

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

[Verse 6]

Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law

Six or eight thousand years ago

They laid down the law

In Mesopotamia

They laid down the law

In Mesopotamia
