Just down the street from your hotel...baby
I stay at home with my disease
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
I'm gonna get me a little oblivion...baby
And try to keep myself away from me

It's 4:30 a.m. on a Tuesday
And it doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms
In buildings in the middle of these lives
Which [bad word] meaningless
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
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
Is 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 seas
I wanna get me a little oblivion...baby
And try to keep myself away from me
Perfect blue buildings...ahh
Beside the green apple sea
I wanna get me a little oblivion...baby
And try to keep myself away from myself and me

Oh, in a perfect blue building
I can't keep myself away from me
Oh, in a perfect blue building....

So, 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.....
