One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor Songtext

von Paul Simon

There's been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said
There's been some hard feelings here
And what is more
There's been a bloody purple nose
And some bloody purple clothes
That were messing up the lobby floor
It's just apartment house rules
So all you 'partment house fools
Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor
One man's ceiling is another man's floor

There's been some strange goin's on
And some folks have come and gone
And the elevator man don't work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
And I thought I heard a flal
But I never opened up my door
It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment house rents
Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor
One man's ceiling is another man's floor

And there's an alley in the back of my building
Where some people congregate in shame
I was walking with my dog
And the night was black with smog
When I thought I heard somebody call my name
Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
