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
