The 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



The city sun sets over me

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



The city sun sets over me

The city sun sets over me



What were you wanting?

I just want to say

Don't ever change

And thank you

I don't think we will meet again

I really must leave now

Before the sunrise

Above skyscrapers

The sin and

This mess we're in



The city sun sets over me

The city sun sets over me
