Paul Simon — One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor

There's been some hard feelings here About some words that were said 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 Like the elevator man don't work no more I heard a racket in the hall And I thought I heard a call 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 I'll tell you one man's ceiling is another man's floor There's an alley in the back of my building Where some people congregate in shame I was walking with my dogs And the night was black with smog When I thought I heard somebody call my name Oh... Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor Goddamn One man's ceiling is another man's floor
