This 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

And oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me

Night and day
I dream of making love to you now, baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen the sunrise over the river
The freeway reminding of this mess we're in


And oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me

Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me

What were you wanting? (What was it you wanted?)
I just wanna say (I just wanna say don't ever change)
Don′t ever change now, baby (I thank you)
I thank you (I don′t think we will meet again)
I don't think we will meet again (and you must leave now)
(Before the sun rises over the skyscraper) and you must leave now
Before the sun rises (and the city landscape comes into view)
Above skyscrapers, the sin and... (swell on my skin)
This mess we′re in


And oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me
Oh-oh-oh...
The city sun sets over me
