One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor

作曲 : Paul Simon

作词 : Paul Simon

There’s been some hard feelings here

About some words that were said

Hard feelings

And what is more

There was 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

That 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

One man’s ceiling

Is another man’s floor

And 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
