[Verse 1: 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
[Pre-Chorus: Paul Simon]
It's just apartment house rules
So all you 'partment house fools
[Chorus: Paul Simon]
Remember one man's ceiling
Is another man's floor
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
[Verse 2: Paul Simon]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Paul Simon]
It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment house rents
[Chorus: Paul Simon]
Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor
I'll tell you one man's ceiling is another man's floor
[Verse 3: Paul Simon]
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
[Chorus: Paul Simon]
Oh...
Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor
Goddamn
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
