The guy upstairs is such a freak For five years now I've had a leak What does he do up there? All day long he sleeps all day Then he goes out and comes home In the most intoxicated way As far as I can tell, he juggles bowling balls But he's not good at it He moves his furniture then at six am He pulls out the vacuum cleaner To suck his room The guy downstairs is also crazy He spent some time in an institute It did him not much good He's off his medication And he starts screaming Virgin Mary, you fucking alien! According to him Jesus Christ smokes crack And other sundry things But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings Won't let me sleep Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing Won't you sweetheart? Please murder that man upstairs If you want to be my friend You'll have to prove you mean it I used to think that rent control was a good idea Until I moved here. Now I'm the only sucker Paying more than a humdred bucks a room And I'm surrounded by lunatics who don't Even need a Moon But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings Won't let me sleep Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing Won't you sweetheart? Please murder that fuck upstairs If you want to be my friend You'll have to prove you mean it Then there's the lady across the hall Who always knows what's going on And Machu Pichu down the stairs Who is selling crack from door to door 14B are refuges and 14A transvestite whores But you know who is coming home He's falling up his drunken stairs Please, kill that man upstairs If you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing Won't you sweetheart? Please murder that fuck upstairs If you want to be my friend You'll help me get a good night sleep
