I Live in a Split-Level Head Songtext
von Napoleon XIV

I′ve lived in apartments, I've lived in a home
I travelled in trailers when I used to roam
But now in these places you won′t catch me dead
'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 mental stairs
Way up to a level where astronauts tread
′Cause I′m happy I live in a split-level head

It's here, time means nothing; I couldn′t care less
I don't rush for busses and trains are a mess
There′s no lawn to care for, I don't make 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 neighborhood′s right?
No taxes to pay and no landlord to fight
Now I call this living; what's more, as I said
'Cause I′m happy I live in a split-level head

Now you keep your ulcers, your ills, and what′s 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 neighborhood
It′s that kind of thinking that keeps it so good
I don′t take the lead but I like to be led
'Cause I′m happy I live in a split-level head

'Cause I′m happy I live in a split-level head {together}

I do what I want to; no worries, no cares

(Do you know what he said?)
I don't know what he said!
(No, I don't know what he said!)
