I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who s all dressed up like a union jack
And says, I ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby
The telephone is ringing
I say, hi, its me. who is it there on the line?
A voice says, hi, hello, how are you
Well, I guess I m doing fine
He says, its three a.m., there s too much noise
Don t you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby
