One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor
 作词 : Paul Simon
 作曲 : 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
