"King Apathy III"

I listened to Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde yester-day and noticed that there's a contrast between sections of "King Apathy III."  Compared to the verses of the song, the "So I'm leavin' for the country..." sections are slower, and the instrumentation is less intense.  This musical reprieve illustrates that departure and the narrator's "rest[ing] my head."
