Twisted lyrics

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 said I was nuts

No more ifs or ands or buts

Now 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 laughed 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

(Cheech & Chong:

"No driver on the top ?"

"Man, this kid is TWISTED !"

"FLIP CITY !!"

"SHOOBY !!!")

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

And to prove it I'll have

The last laugh on you

'Cause instead of one head

I've got two

And you know two heads are better than one.
