Paul Simon - One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor Lyrics

There's been some hard feelings here
'Bout some words that were said (hard feelings)
Hard feelings
And what is more
There was a bloody purple nose (yeah)
And some bloody purple clothes (a mess)
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 (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, he don't work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
I thought I heard a fall
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 (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 dogs
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
