Neighbors [Gnarls Barkley]

it's weird, living in an apartment again. the noise of people living above/below/beside me. the noise of people coming and going at all hours - apartment doors, car doors, drunken stumbling back home. the smells in the hallways - body odor, food, smoking, pot.

it's also odd not really knowing your neighbors. sure, i guess i could introduce myself, but i'm not really here to make friends. i recognize some people because we keep the same hours, but i dont know names. there's the chinese smoking lady, the duck lady, the hard rock smoker, the taxi drivers, and the 80 year old lady with pigtails. about 3 weeks ago i came back to the apartment mid-day, and there was a guy on the balcony of the apartment next door to mine. now, he didnt know i was his neighbor, but after tonight i'm not so sure he was my neigbor. i just took trash to the garbage chute, and passed a guy and girl going into the apartment next door. the same stuff has been on the patio since i moved in, so either:

1.) it's a 2 bedroom apt, which i'm not sure it is.
2.) she lives there and this guy is a new boyfriend.
3.) he lives there and the guy i saw before was his friend.

whatever the case may be, it makes me want to know more about who is next door.

also, when taking the trash out - there was a vase full of not-yet-dead flowers in the trash, and flower petals all over the place. makes me wonder what happened.

Oh I am the same way wanting to know what is going on with neighbors. Like why did the paramedics show up across the street last night. Hum can't wait to hear more about the flowers.
