I'm thinking of taking 
The easy way out 
Open the window 
I'll fall to the ground 
I could do it -- wouldn't be much too it 
I gotta little place here in the city 
It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter 
And there's a lot of us living here 
Wall to wall in one big house 
And when the night comes 'round 
I can see a lot of lonely lights 
There are people in there breathing 
But it don't seem right 
In the streets way down below me 
I'm listening for just a sound 
But nobody comes around 
In bedsitter land 
And there's a man below me on the balcony 
Crying to be heard 
Screaming to be heard 
I'm haunted by his words 
And the people in the street just shrug their shoulders 
Saying he's disturbed 
He's in another world 
Screaming at the birds 
Crying to be heard 
I hear his every word 
I've slept in the gutter on a summer's day 
Oh I've bummed cigarettes in the night cafes 
I've joined the breadline 
Believe I got a deadline 
I gotta little place here in the city 
It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter 
And there's a lot of us living here 
Wall to wall in one big house 
And when the night comes 'round 
I can see a lot of lonely lights 
There are people in there breathing 
But it don't seem right 
In the streets way down below me 
I'm listening for just a sound 
But nobody comes around 
The lights are going down 
Nobody comes around 
In bedsitterland
