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
   1.| **  2.|
  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...
 (CHORUS)
 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...
 (CHORUS)
