Three Flights Up (Live) - Don McLean[00:00:00]
On the first floor'[00:00:24]
On the first floor[00:00:28]
On the first floor[00:00:32]
There's a young girl reeling[00:00:33]
Her body's numb and without feeling[00:00:35]
As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling[00:00:37]
Now she's falling now she's kneeling[00:00:40]
It's almost like she's bowed in prayer[00:00:47]
A savior she's about to bear[00:00:50]
She screams for help[00:00:53]
But no one's there[00:00:55]
On the first floor[00:01:01]
On the first floor people walk the halls[00:01:12]
But none can hear her desperate calls[00:01:15]
There is no sound beyond the walls[00:01:17]
So to the telephone she crawls[00:01:19]
She telephones her only friend[00:01:25]
The one on whom she can depend[00:01:27]
But the phone rings on without an end[00:01:31]
Then rings no more[00:01:35]
On the first floor[00:01:41]
There's a party on the second floor[00:02:20]
And through the picture window you can see them all[00:02:23]
They're laughing and they're dancing[00:02:30]
Admiring the Renoir that's hanging on the wall[00:02:32]
But in the master bedroom[00:02:41]
Where the coats are piled high[00:02:43]
A silent saddened lady[00:02:46]
Thinks of what it's like to die[00:02:49]
And as she dwells on all[00:02:53]
The years she still has left to face[00:02:55]
She wonders how she'll[00:02:59]
Ever find someone to take his place[00:03:01]
Then suddenly she's jarred by[00:03:10]
The ringing of the phone[00:03:11]
Oh why do you ring now just when[00:03:15]
I want to be alone[00:03:18]
So she walks into the fasted[00:03:21]
Take some water from a cup[00:03:24]
But the telephone stops[00:03:30]
Ringing just before she picks it up[00:03:32]
My family was very poor[00:04:04]
So I worked hard to be secure[00:04:08]
I married one I had to wed[00:04:14]
And not the one I loved instead[00:04:19]
When I was young my blood ran wild[00:04:25]
But we stayed married for the child[00:04:30]
Now three flights up I'm all alone[00:04:36]
My wife is dead my child is grown[00:04:42]
My daughter leads a wayward life[00:04:51]
I got[00:04:54]
She's been a failure as a wife[00:04:55]
Oh she lives just one floor down[00:05:02]
She never calls or comes around[00:05:07]
Step off the platform and onto the train[00:05:28]
Look out your window and into the rain[00:05:33]
Watch all the buildings that pass as you ride[00:05:37]
And count all the stories that go on inside[00:05:43]
And then ask yourself if it must be this way[00:05:47]
Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings[00:05:53]
Separate us from each others feelings[00:05:59]
