74.Twisted

Lyricist:Hank Ballard

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said Id 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, oh no, oh no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said Id 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 so no, oh no, 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, 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 laugh 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

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said Id 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, oh no, oh no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said, â½Dear doctor, I think that its you instead
Because I have got a thingâ

Thats unique and new
To prove it Ill have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head, I got two
And you know two heads are better than one
