Stephen Bishop - Jet Lag lyrics

rate me

I parked my Buick

discovered my ticket was lost

And I had to fly "Standby"

at twice the cost

and then the buzzer went off

at the Security check

and the hands on my body

left me with no

self-respect

And now my Suitcase don't fit

in the overhead

and the ugly blue Stewardess

wishes that I

would drop dead

So I climb into my seat

next to the screaming baby

next to the big, big fat man

who's trying to steal my tan

Oh I know I won't sleep

and I'll get..

Jet Lag

Jet Lag

Yeah yeah

Now we're flyin' through the air

On this twenty hour flight

And my eyes can't seem to focus

And my head feels so light

And then the food tray comes around

and I eat like a pig

and the lady in blue says

"Baby, you better slow down

You're eyes are too big"

And if you think too much

Your brain'll start to drag

And you make it home to party

But your tail can't wag

Oh no, and guess what

You got.. (CHORUS)

I'd stop this plane

If I could

The hands on my watch

say you don't look so good

The movie ain't so hot

You know this lousy feeling

is all I got..

The plane lands with a thud

and I run to my car

and I tell my legs run faster

and they say who do you think you are?

So I call up my date

A September playmate

I gotta get myself together

No, I can't be late

She's so fine

And now she's kissing my ear

says her clothes feel too tight

but as she moves a little closer

I fall asleep at the light

and she says, "Oh baby, wake up,

you got Jet Lag!"

CHORUS
