  • Verse 1
    On the first 
    floor' On the first 

    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 

    It's 
    almost like she's 
    bowed in prayer 

    sa
    vior 
    she's about to 
    bear 

    She 
    screams 
    for help, but 

    no one's there 

    On the first 
    floor 

    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 

    The one 
    on whom she 
    can depend 

    But 
    the phone 
    rings on without 
    an end 

    Then 
    rings no 
    more 

    On the first 
    floor 

    There's 
    a party 
    on 
    the second 
    floor 

    And 
    through 
    the picture 
    window 

    you can 
    see 
    them 
    all 

    They're 
    laughing 
    and they're 

    dancing 

    Admiring 
    the Ren
    oir 

    that's hanging 
    on 
    the wall 

    But in the 
    master bedroom 

    where 
    the coats 
    are piled 
    high 

    silent, 
    saddened 
    lady thinks 
    of what 

    it's like to 
    die 

    And as she dwells 
    on all 
    the years 
    she still 

    has 
    left to face 

    She wonders 
    how 
    she'll ever 
    find someone 

    to 
    take his 
    place 

    Then suddenly 
    she's 
    jarred 

    by the ringing 
    of the phone 

    Oh, 
    why 
    do you ring 
    now, just 
    when I want 

    to be alone? 

    So she walks 
    into 
    the bathroom 
    and drinks 

    some 
    water from 
    a cup 

    But the telephone 
    stops 
    ringing 
    just 
    before 
    she picks 
    it up 





    My family 
    was very 
    poor 

    So 
    I worked 
    hard 
    to be 
    secure 

    I married 
    one 
    I had 
    to 
    wed 

    And not 
    the one I 
    loved 
    in

    stead 

    When I 
    was young 
    my blood 

    ran 
    wild 

    But we stayed 
    married 
    for the 
    child 

    Now 
    three 
    flights 
    up
    , I'm 

    all 
    alone 

    My wife 
    is dead, 
    my 
    child 
    is grown 

    My 
    daughter leads 
    wayward 
    life 

    She's 
    been a failure 
    as 
    a wife 

    And though 
    she lives 
    just 

    one floor 
    down 

    She never 
    call
    or 
    comes 

    around 


    Step 
    off the 
    platform 

    and onto 
    the train 

    Look out 
    your 
    window 
    and into 
    the 
    rain 

    Watch 
    all 
    the buildings 
    that 

    pass 
    as 
    you ride 

    And count 
    all the 
    stories 

    that go 
    on inside 

    And then ask 
    yourself 
    if it must 

    be this way 

    Should walls 
    and doors 
    and 
    plaster ceilings 

    Separate 
    us from 
    each others' 
    feelings?

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
