Twisted

Twisted - Jane Monheit (珍夢海)

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 am the type

That is most inclined

When out of this sight

To be out of my mind

And he said 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 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

Well they say little children are 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 swinging

They all laughed at a graham bell

They all laugh at edison

And also at einstein

So why should I feel sorry

If they just couldn't understand

The reason and the logic that went on

In my head

I had a brain it was insane

So just 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

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

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

Because I have 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
