Perfect Blue Buildings Lyrics - August And Everything After - Counting Crows

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'll 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 

And 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, baby 

I'm tryin' to keep myself away from myself and me 

Well, I got bones beneath my skin 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 sea 

I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby 

I'm tryin' to keep myself away from myself and me 

Perfect blue buildings 

Beside the green apple sea 

I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby 

I'm tryin' to keep myself away from myself and me 

Oh in a perfect blue building 

Well I can't keep myself away from me 

In a perfect blue building 

So 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?
