Twisted Lyrics

[00:05.74] My analyst told me
[00:07.34] That I was right out of my head
[00:09.05] The way he described it
[00:10.68] He said, "I'd be better dead than alive"
[00:13.14] I didn't listen to his jive
[00:16.11] I knew all along that he was all wrong
[00:19.27] And I knew that he thought
[00:21.52] I was crazy, but I'm not
[00:23.22] Don't know
[00:25.64] My analyst told me
[00:27.36] That I was right out of my head
[00:29.07] He said I need treatment
[00:30.69] But I'm not that easily led
[00:32.68] He said "I was the type that was most inclined"
[00:36.13] When out of his sight to be out of my mind
[00:38.93] And he thought I was nuts
[00:41.48] No more ifs or ands or buts
[00:46.18] They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
[00:49.00] With all my crazy ideas
[00:51.00] But I knew what was happening, I knew I was a genius
[00:56.86] What's so strange when you know
[00:59.03] That you're a wizard at three?
[01:01.66] I knew that this was meant to be
[01:05.73] Now I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
[01:09.75] That's why I got into the vodka one night
[01:12.86] My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do
[01:16.29] But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to
[01:19.07] Now do you think I was crazy?
[01:21.66] I may have been only three, but I was swinging
[01:25.67] They all laugh at angry young men
[01:28.36] They all laughed at Edison
[01:29.42] And also at Einstein
[01:31.21] So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
[01:34.55] The idiomatic logic that went on in my head
[01:38.14] I had a brain, it was insane
[01:39.58] Oh, they used to laugh at me when I refused to ride
[01:42.65] On all those double-decker buses
[01:44.59] All because there was no driver on the top
[01:46.52] Wait, no driver on the top?
[01:48.28] Men, the chick is twisted, crazy! It should be
[01:51.53] He flips cities
[01:52.48] My analyst told me
[01:54.15] That I was right out of my head
[01:55.83] But I said, "Dear doctor I think that it's you instead
[01:59.07] Because I, I got a thing that's unique and new
[02:02.97] To prove it, I'll have the last laugh on you
[02:05.95] 'Cause instead of one head
[02:09.06] I got two
[02:10.66] And you know, two heads are better than one"
[02:17.96]
