Artist: Napoleon XIV Album: They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa! Song: I Live in a Split Level Head Typed by: Brian Rancourt *Two voices in unison, one on each of the stereo channels* I've lived in apartments, I've lived in a home I've travelled in trailers when I used to roam But now in these places you won't catch me dead 'Cause I've happy I live in a split level head I do what I want to, no worries, no cares If anyone bugs me, I climb up my stairs Way up to a level where I feel no threat 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head If you're trying something I couldn't care less I don't rush for buses, my trains are a mess There's no one to care for, I don't need a bed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I like how I'm living, I'm nobody's slave My head's above water so don't make a wave There's no door to lock and no dog to be fed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head So why should I move when the neighbourhood's right? No taxes to pay and no landlord to fight Now I call this living, what's more, like I said 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head Now you keep your ulcers, your ills and what new You sure couldn't have them and live like I do You think I have problems but you do instead 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I live with two people, I like both of them He likes both of me and I like both of him They're my alter egos and to them I'm wed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head There's no simple status in my neighbourhood It's that kind of thinking that keeps it so good I don't take the lead when I like to be led 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head *{Voice on right channel recites indented verses from this point at the same time as the voice on the left channel recited the unindented verses}* So why should I move when the neighbourhood's right? No taxes to pay and no landlord to fight Now I call this living, what's more, like I said 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I've lived in apartments, I've lived in a home I've travelled in trailers when I used to roam But now in these places you won't catch me dead 'Cause I've happy I live in a split level head Now you keep your ulcers, your ills and what new You sure couldn't have them and live like I do You think I have problems but you do instead 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I do what I want to, no worries, no cares If anyone bugs me, I climb up my stairs Way up to a level where I feel no threat 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I live with two people, I like both of them He likes both of me and I like both of him They're my alter egos and to them I'm wed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head If you're trying something I couldn't care less I don't rush for buses, my trains are a mess There's no one to care for, I don't need a bed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head There's no simple status in my neighbourhood It's that kind of thinking that keeps it so good I don't take the lead when I like to be led 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I like how I'm living, I'm nobody's slave My head's above water so don't make a wave There's no door to lock and no dog to be fed 'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head I've lived in apartments, I've lived in a home I've travelled in trailers when I used to roam But now in these places you won't catch me dead 'Cause I've happy I live in a split level head So why should I move when the neighbourhood's right?

What'd he say? I don't know what he said, what'd he say? You know what he said? I don't know what he said...(fade)
