Just down the street from your hotel baby I stay at home with my disease And ain't this position familiar darlin' Well all monkeys do what they see Help me stay awake I'm fallin' Down on Virginia and La Loma where I got friends who care for me you got an attitude of everything I ever wanted I got an attitude of need So, help me stay awake I'm fallin' Asleep in perfect blue buildings beside the green apple sea gonna get me a little oblivion baby, and try to keep myself away from me It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless help me stay awake I'm fallin' Asleep in perfect blue buildings beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a littlev oblivion baby and try to keep myself away from myself and me Well I got bones beneath my skin and mister There's a skeleton in every man's house Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hang on everybody There's a dead man tryin' to get out So please help me stay awake I'm fallin' Asleep in perfect blue buildings beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a little oblivion baby Try to keep myself away from me Perfect blue buildings oh, beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a little oblivion baby and try to keep myself away from myself and me Oh little perfect blue building I can't keep myself away from me Oh little perfect blue building Said how am I gonna keep myself away How am I gonna keep myself away from me Keep myself away How am I gonna keep myself away from me Keep myself away How am I gonna keep myself away from me
