Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia You ****ing give me the creeps You ****ing give me the creeps I've never known another city to burn Face down in the bottom of a river Swimming with the dead makes me want to shiver If you really wanna know, I'd rather just drown alone Clay fingers reaching for the ceiling Once numb, now tingling with feeling You'll see in the end that nothing really gets away And I'd give it all just to be with you Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia You ****ing give me the creeps You ****ing give me the creeps I've never known another city to burn You took back the mud from which you're made And threw it at me like a ****ing grenade You keep cutting my throat, then you ask me if I'm feelin ok This city is just like any other They keep blowing it up, then building up another If you look in the hole, you'll see it ain't going away And I'd give it all away just to be with you Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia You ****ing give me the creeps You ****ing give me the creeps I've never known another city to burn City to burn
