This Mess We're In Lyrics - Polly Jean 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 ooh, the city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me 

Night and day 

I dream of 

Makin' love 

To you now, baby 

Love makin' on screen 

Impossible dream 

And I have seen 

The sunrise over the river 

The freeway 

Reminding of 

This mess we're in 

And ooh, the city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me 

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 now, baby 

(Don't ever change) 

I'd thank you 

(I'd thank you) 

I don't think we will meet again 

(I don't think who will meet again) 

And you must leave now 

(And you must leave now) 

Before the sun rise above skyscrapers 

(Before the sun rises over the skyscrapers) 

(And the city landscape comes into view) 

Sweat on my skin 

Oh, this mess we're in, ooh 

The city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me 

The city sunset over me
