Key: Eb major
Verse 1
floor
On the first floor there's
a young girl reeling
Her body's numb
and without feeling
As illusions dance on
the midnight ceiling
Now she's falling, now she's kneeling
On the first floor people walk the
halls
But none can hear her desperate
calls
There is no sound beyond the
walls
So to the telephone she crawls
She telephones her only friend
They're laughing and they're
where the coats are piled high
A silent, saddened lady thinks of what
it's like to die
And as she dwells on all the years she still
So she walks into the bathroom and drinks
My family was very poor
When I was young my blood
ran wild
But we stayed married for the child
Step off the platform
and onto the train
Look out your window and into the rain
Watch all the buildings that
And count all the stories
that go on inside
And then ask yourself if it must
How did you like the song?
