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
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 thought i was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts
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 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
But i said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because i have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it 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.
