PAUL SIMON - One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor lyrics

rate me

Words & music by Paul Simon

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 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 rents

Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor!

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 dog

And the night was black with smog

When I thought I heard somebody

Call my name

Ah-- Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor!

one man's ceiling is another man's floor!
