about

Alright, a plastic hotel as it is written in the book: everything is kind of uncharming and artificial. It is loud, it smells and Suzen finds no rest - drunken hotel guests, sex in the room next door…

Suzen wishes herself back home. Although she is not happy there either, but at least she knows how it goes there. She has some shots to fall asleep.

The next morning it doesn‘t get better. Everything goes wrong. The phone is broken, breakfast tastes disgustful…
The crew is waiting. Suzen must not dawdle. Damn - how did she come to be where she is? She must hurry up, let‘s go to the place of her first mission.

lyrics

+++ Verse 1 +++
Four walls, four corners, one exit door, one bathroom,
Old desk, one window, what a nice view to the parking deck,
Fantastic plastic tooth mug for my vodka and my soda,
Red armchair on grey carpet in front of my TV set
50 channels bullshit to anesthetize my brain
Around midnight friendly neighbors scream their sex without shame
Cold lights from the hall crawl underneath my door
Loud laughing drunken guys kicking trash over the floor

+++ Pre-Chorus +++
There’s no sleep in Jetlag Hotel

+++ Verse 2 +++
Cheap soap, small white towels, tiny bathroom, freezing shower
While the air con smelly breeze blows I’m counting every hour
Fucking phone rings at midnight, wrong phone number, can’t be true?
Push my face deep in the pillow, try to sleep, think fuck you too
A few more shots, throwing the bottles on the floor,
Ignoring noises and the world outside, I don’t care anymore
Imagine I could disappear and quit this circus now
You’d better take good care of me, I’ll burn this hotel down

+++ Pre-Chorus +++
There’s no sleep in Jetlag Hotel
I get no sleep in Jetlag Hotel

+++ Chorus +++
Home is where the heart is, but my homeland is not here
My heart goes on, but the dream is gone, please guide me out of here

+++ Verse 3 +++
The next morning, phone is beeping, way too early to get up
Wanna go have my breakfast, power failure, lights go off
Try to find my way in darkness, but I’m falling down the stairs
Bloody nose, broken phone, Viva Britannia, that’s not fair!
Disgusting chish and fips, so tasty NOT! hip hip oh yeah
Hurry up, pack my stuff, check out takes too long for me
Crew’s waiting in the car, Marvin’s hanging on the phone
Let’s go to the location, shoulda been there long ago

+++ Pre-Chorus +++
There’s no sleep in Jet Lag Hotel
I get no sleep in Jetlag Hotel

+++ Chorus +++
Home is where the heart is, but my homeland is not here
My heart goes on, but the dream is gone, please guide me out of here
