jetlag jamboree

Travelling through Malaysia with lots of internal flights - the carpet in question was in Langkawi airport and it was doing my head in....

jetlag jamboree

D
There’s a peacock on the carpet laying psychedelic trails
And I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m going off the rails
A
And I just can’t see for looking no I just can’t see at all
D
I’ve been walking round in circles I’ve been walking into walls

There’s a woman in a burkah and she’s looking hard at me
Is she thinking I’m a jerk or is she thinking I am free
Is she wishing she was wearing a bikini by the sea
Am I living in my head or is this just reality
G D
I’ve got that jet-lag woozy feeling swirling through my brain
A D
Sitting in another airport waiting for another plane
G D
My head’s in southeast Asia but my body’s GMT
E A F D
Down in the pit of my stomach there’s a jetlag jamboree

There’s a Buddhist monk in saffron with his personal rice bowl
There’s a woman in a sari with an Indian soul
There a guy in Nike trainers there’s a girl in Diesel jeans
There’s an Iban drinking Milo wish I knew what all this means

I’ve got that jet-lag woozy feeling swirling through my brain
Sitting in another airport waiting for another plane
My head’s in southeast Asia but my body’s GMT
Down in the pit of my stomach there’s a jetlag jamboree

There’s a peacock on the carpet laying psychedelic trails

There’s a porpoise close behind me and he’s treading on my tail…
