This Mess We're In
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
The city sunset over me
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
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 it 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 sunrise above skyscrapers
(And the city landscape comes into being)
(Sweat on my skin)
The city
Oh, this mess we’re in
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
