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 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 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.....
