Just down the street from your hotel, baby
I stay at home with my disease
And ain t this position familiar, darling
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake, I m falling...
Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who ll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I m falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion
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 falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion
Try to keep myself away from myself and me
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 hangs on everybody
There s a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, I m falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion baby
Try to keep myself away from me
