Jetlag

waking up and getting up,
the lines blur each day.
the real becomes the vacant.
opaque little people
with little lives.
you said you wouldn't succumb
but it comes for you like a lawsuit.

just when you think you're in control.
just when the world was at your feet.

soap opera plot line,
like motorway white lines.
this de ja vu.
the vacume of an urban life.

pretty butterfly
dead on display,
the pod invasion's begun
and they come for you like a lawsuit.

baby jetlag - your tiger eyes.
when you least expect it it will come.
baby jetlag - your tired eyes.
when you least expect it it will come
and knock you off your feet.

jetlag - can't sleep it off.
jetlag - can't work it off.
jetlag - can't.
it will knock you to the ground.
