Counting Crows - Perfect Blue Buildings Lyrics
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...
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...
[CHORUS:]
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
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]

Counting Crows Perfect Blue Buildings Comments
This album inspired so much creativity from me when I was younger and it still does...
It makes me feel emotional when I think about how many times this album has touched me through my life...and when I think about how many people I've bonded with by sharing this album with them, a lot of amazing people; many I dont talk to anymore..
This song though...really speaks to me..
And then it's a tie between Anna begins and round here...followed by Omaha.
Omg I love this album..seriously.
430 am. Nuff said. Great flippin album. Truly one of the best ever.
Thanks to my dad I know this beautiful album 👏♥️
What a brilliant band. I Fucken miss these guys. I miss the old days.
Jim Boigos is not the drummer...who is it? They're really good...
Timeless, not sure if it's the band or me lol, thanks to Adam and the guys for every note., Every pause, just a beautiful concept with perfect execution..
That little mandolin sprinkled on top when the chorus picks up is magic. One of my all-time favorites. Absolutely harsh and bleak, but full of human life.
I remember listening to this going through the Rocky Mountains in the snow...This album really spoke to me at that point in my life...one of the world's best artists...
perfect music for being sloshed
Anna begins and this song are my favourite songs ever. The album that blew me away was Ten and, beleive it or not, the most perfect set of songs together in an album that I never expected was Ray of Light.... Never expected that and it was a masterpiece.
has this song saved anybody's life as well! "I'm fallin"
Will never stop listening to them...🍁
I wanna get myself some oblivion
keep myself away from me? i get it.
Asleep in perfect blue buildings (xanex) beside the green apple sea (kolonopin) I wanna get a little obilvion...this song is about addiction and and mental health ❤️
I'm here listening , my band covers this
I would say the best playlist on YouTube.
love the counting crows!!!
Keep myself away...
Just thank you Adam, I mean fucking thank you Adam, forgot the forum
Aww so sweet
Miss these dazesss
My band and I did a cover of this , I had never heard it , damn !!!!

Its drug addiction w an empathetic soul! Call it mental illness give it a name or try and understand when your heart and soul just can't take aNYmore--My opinion--Be careful what u label u may just have to come back and experience the same trial the one u are putting a label to
The more I hear this song, I see it talking about mental illness. The narrator is in the midst of a mental breakdown and is in a state of psychosis. That's just my opinion though.

one of the best for sure. love this entire album
Please have patience the trophy 💜
Takes me to a place in my head.............

Tenerife 94 will, Ron, John, boxer, wat a holiday great memories this album just came out an had it blasting fr 2 weeks 😍❤️😎
This song’s been killing me for a quarter of a decade and I love it.
It’s crazy good how Adam sings the songs differently every time. The takes on this record are epic.
My drug of choice. Acoustical drugs. No side effects, except for temporary, but lingering, sense of euphoria.
One of the best bands ever
alguém 2019?anybody?
Iam see water
I love singing to CC! Not everyone else likes it when I do!! LOL! At least I know every word to every song!
The comments are fascinating...this album and the early 90's were such an intense time for me, my life was this music and these lyrics. So intense and full on. Feels like the rest of my years have been trying to get my breathe back
Just another album where the one song that got all the radio play was not the best song on the album. Well over 20 years now and I still love every song.
Thank you counting crows
Favorite of favorites
I played this cd to death
2019 still love this
Best time of my life and always brings me home!!! Love!!!
i miss that Lithium 90's era
Help me stay awake I'm falling...
Where I got friends that care for me...
That voice , soothes my soul ❤️
I love this band so much
This was an amazing CD. I was 16 when it came out, and I remember spending enormous amounts of time jamming to it and appreciating every nuance of the music.😊❤ These guys are seriously under rated artists, and its sad. Music today is absolute garbage. I will take music like this any day of the week.😊❤
Its looking through a window into your own soul . Wow that was deep!
We truly do miss the 90s. Imagine a decade where a band as amazing as the counting crows is underrated? If they just made their debut they'd potentially save music.
A song/album that brings you back to someone. Timeless.
perfect album
Takes me back to once upon a time in my life..
This song is timeless!
The Beatles albums defined the 60’s-70’s. August And Everything After, along with many other albums by the Counting Crows have defined the 90’s-00’s——Fact
It doesn’t get much worse than this.
Susana Ventura en verdad que no.
I am Bi-Polar and this song makes so much sense. Right now it’s night and I’m home with my disease.
i still have to turn it up and belt out the lyrics with Adam. ha
Dope rhymes counter crops
I was a15 year old listening to this song thinking how deep it was, now I'm a 39 year old listening to this song and thinking how deep it is. Brilliant lyrics.
i like songs
Rq from my friend Kelly 🤙
Melhor som de rock'n'roll
This album came out when my boyfriend & I first got together and we've been through ups and downs births and deaths it stood up to time as we did ! On that note was very disappointed with their performance on 07/07 /2018 @ 5 point Amphitheatre in Irvine Ca they changed the songs didn't play them as recorded I waited 20 yrs to see them for a big disappointment Live who opened up for them was way better performance !
Agreed. Seen them in council bluffs Iowa......kinda the same.
One of the best albums/ CDs I have ever heard...I was in the army in the mid 90s when I got In tuned with this great band and their Great music...Will be engrained in my mind for a long long time...The best.💖💗💙💚💛💜💝
My favourite song from one of favourite albums. Although I do change my mind regularly!
all monkaaasszz do what they see*:)🌳😎🎸
makes so much sense
Shawty got dem apple jeans holmes
Boots with the fur
how did this guy do this
Nice music..a little depressing...and humbling..and inspiring...
"How'm I gonna keep myself away from me?"
I understand those lyrics all to well
I've listened to every song on this album literally HUNDREDS of times. One of the sound tracks of my life. Absolute lyrical MASTERPIECE. Especially this one...
the best ever made by counting crow ..
There are only two kinds of people in the world; those that love this album and those that don’t.
good times
FN crazy how these fallen angels can predict songs about your life years before the shit even helps us...were is God....where....
You misspelt where
This song goes to my stepson Michael B. Miss you more than you know. I knew this was your song when your dad was alive. I knew then. Please get in touch with me, Love You
these songs make me believe again,
Oh, this song - this whole album. I shared this with my bloke. He died in 1997, we did not have enough time
Don't want to be that guy, but this is one of the songs I listen to while I lay in bed thinking about dieing
And....
Wow, what a comment thread. This was my partners favourite album. He died 20 years ago by his own hand - it was not unexpected. I listen to this song as it reminds me of how we were.
Much love to you Maria. Had a family member commit suicide. It doesn't get easier. Put your faith and trust in God. People continue to disappoint.
no other bands compares.
no other bands compares.
The spirit of 1995 is capture in this album. Tender and great.
man I thought that round YouTube music app was good YouTube really hit a homerun with this one
j adore
Friday 24/03/2017 & chilling to this album. Tis a good start to the weekend indeed.
best ever perfect blue buildings.
I never noticed it before, but that chord progression sounds very similar to "knocking on heaven's door"
crows are great
CHOOOONNNN!!!
I have this one cranked up!!!!
