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   I wanna 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   I wanna 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   I wanna get me a little oblivion baby   Try to keep myself away from me
