Brendan Benson Lyrics for Song: Jet Lag
 Lyrics for Album: Lapalco [2002]
 
 
 
 3523>My so-called friends
 
 Where are they now
 
 I guess a love that bends
 
 Isn't worth much anyhow
 
 
 
 They come and go
 
 And talk their shit
 
 And when I really need to know
 
 All I get is spit in my eye
 
 
 
 But the less I know the better
 
 The faster I go jet-setter
 
 I chase around the world
 
 But I never get the girl
 
 
 
 But it doesn't really matter if
 
 You won't have any part of this
 
 My scheme I've devised
 
 Where my team is disguised
 
 And we seem like ordinary guys
 
 But surprise!
 
 
 
 I'm hardly phased anymore
 
 By your classless ways
 
 It takes more than that to amaze me
 
 These days.
 
 
 
 I'm so messed up
 
 never know what time it is
 
 jet lag's the price you pay
 
 When you play showbiz, kid.
 
 
 
 But I talked so much as it were
 
 That I made the local news
 
 The boy has got the magic touch
 
 And he can't ever lose
 
 
 
 Some people want to know
 
 All about my history
 
 And no one seems to care
 
 That none of it's not worthy
 
 
 
 My present situation
 
 Is no longer inspiration
 
 My precious generation
 
 Is killing their time
 
 And behind their backs
 
 I'm slipping thru the cracks
 
 
 
 And it doesn't really bother me
 
 I just cut out any part of me
 
 That's been bruised
 
 and abused, and misused
 
 and confused.
 
 
 
 I stayed up late
 
 The night before
 
 I slept the whole way on the plane
 
 And now my neck is sore
 
 
 
 Hello Girl
