One Man's Ceiling
is Another Man's Floor


There's been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said
There's 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
It's just apartment house rules
So all you 'partment 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
And 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
It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment 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 dog
And 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 is another man's floor!

Comentarios: Letra que trata de la paranoia y de la forma de vida en los bloques de pisos, donde nada se sabe, ni se quiere saber, de los vecinos, con una absoluta falta de solidaridad.
