I've lived in apartments I've lived in a home I've traveled 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 through a level Where astronauts dread '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 run for buses 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 Once 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 symbol 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
