| 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, baby
|
| Try to keep myself away from me (myself and) 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…
|
| 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… |
