Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - 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 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

Oh no!

They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild

With all my crazy ideas

But I knew what was happenin', 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

Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight

That's why I drank a fifth of 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 swingin'

They all laughed at Al Graham Bell

They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein

So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand

The litany and the logic that went on in my head?

I had a brain, it was insane

Don't you let them 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

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 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

But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead

'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new

It proves that 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"
