TWISTED

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head


The way he described it


He said I'd be better dead than live


I didn't listen to his jive


I knew all along


That he was all wrong


And I knew that he thought


I was crazy but I'm not


Oh no

My analyst told me

That I was right out of my head

He said I'd need treatment

But I'm not that easily led

He said I was the type

That was most inclined

When out of his sight

To be out of my mind

And he thought I was nuts

No more ifs or ands or buts

They say as a child

I appeared a little bit wild

With all my crazy ideas

But I knew what was happening

I knew I was a genius...

What's so strange when you know

That you're a wizard at three

I knew that this was meant to be

Now I heard little children

Were supposed to sleep tight

That's why I got into the vodka one night

My parents got frantic

Didn't know what to do

But I saw some crazy scenes

Before I came to

Now do you think I was crazy

I may have been only three

But I was swinging

They all laugh at angry young men

They all laughed at Edison

And also at Einstein

So why should I feel sorry

If they just couldn't understand

The iDIOMATIC logic

That went on in my head

I had a brain

It was insane

Oh they used to laugh at me

When I refused to ride

On all those double-decker buses

All because there was no DRIVER on the top

My analyst told me

That I was right out of my head

But I said dear doctor

I think that it's you instead

Because I have got a thing

That's unique and new

To prove it I'll have

The last laugh on you

'Cause instead of one head

I got two

And you know two heads are better than one
