just down the street from your hotel baby
i stayed home with my disease
ain't this position familiar darling
well all monkeys do what they see
help me stay awake i'm falling down virginia and aloma
where i got friends who care for me
got an attitude of everything i ever wanted
i got an attitude of need
so help me stay awake
i'm falling asleep in perfect blue buildings
beside the green apple sea
wanna get me a little oblivion baby
i try to keep myself away from me
it's four thirty a m on a tuesday
it doesn't get much worse than this
in beds in little rooms and buildings
in the middle of these lives
which are completely meaningless
help me stay awake and falling
sleep in perfect blue buildings
beside the green apple sea
i wanna get me a little oblivion baby
i'm trying to keep myself away from myself and me
well i got bones beneath my skin and master
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 trying to get out
so please help me stay awake
i'm falling asleep in perfect blue buildings
beside the green apple seas
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
to try to keep myself away from myself and me
oh and a perfect blue feeling
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
