Perfect Blue Buildings

Just down the street from your hotel, baby

I stay at 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 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 falling

Asleep in perfect blue buildings

Beside the green apple sea

Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby

I'm trying 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, baby

I'm trying 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 hangs 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

And try to keep myself away from myself and me

Oh, little perfect blue buildings

I can't keep myself away from me

Oh, little perfect blue buildings

I say, 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?
