The Mess We're In Lyrics - 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 ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset 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 ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset over me) 

And ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset over me) 

What were you wanting? (What was that you wanted?) 

I just wanna say (I just wanna say) 

(Don't ever change) Don't ever change now baby 

(And thank you) And thank you 

(I don't think we will meet again) I don't think we will meet again 

(And you must leave now) And you must leave now (Before the sun rises over the skyscrapers) 

Before the sun rise (And the city landscape comes into view) 

Over the skyscrapers (Sweat on my skin, oh) 

The city 

This mess we're in 

And ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset over me) 

Ohh (the city sunset over me)
