LYRICS

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he discribed it he said '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, oh no
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 am t'he type that is 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,oh no

They say as a child I appeard a littele 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 laughed at Edison and Einstein
Now why should I feel sorry if they just
Couldn't understand tha reason and the logic that went on in my head
I had a brain it was insane
So I just let them 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 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
But I said dear doctor I think that it's you instaed
Because I have a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll heve the last laugh on you
'Cause instaed of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one
