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 alive"
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
Don't know
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I 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
Wait, no driver on the top?
Men, the chick is twisted, crazy! It should be
He flips cities
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, I 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"
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said, "I'd be better dead than alive"
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
Don't know
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I 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
