Perfect Blue Buildings Lyrics

Artist: Counting Crows
Album: August And Everything After

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

Wow....can you say addiction? Just how do we keep ourselves away from ourselves?

you don't need to be addicted to anything to have thoughts you'd rather not be having...

How about you geniouses interpret the lyrics in another fashion? Have you ever had a physical disease tht cripples you? Have you found yourself imaganing being in a "perfect blue building"? Are you freaking retarded?

i recently found out that adam has multiple personality disorder, and that may have something to do with those lyrics "Try to keep myself away from me"

"Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion"..a song about rehab, no doubt in my mind at least~
