[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
