Twisted (From "Deconstructing Harry") - Art Blakey, Percy Heath, Annie Ross

My analyst told me (what?)

That I was right out of my head

The way he described it (how?)

He said I'd be better dead than live

I didn't listen to his jive

I knew all along

he was all wrong

And I knew that he thought (what?)

I was crazy but I'm not

Oh no (on no?) (oh no?)

My analyst told me (what?)

That I was right out of my head

He said I'd need treatment (yeah?)

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 (nuts?)

No more ifs or ands or buts

Oh 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

But 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 swingin

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 reasoning and the 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

(no driver on the top? this chick is twisted. what's the

Matter with her?)

(she must be out of her head)-"this line is spoken on top of previous line

My analyst told me (what?)

That I was right out of my head

The way he described it (how?)

He said i'd be better dead that live

I didn't listen to his jive

I knew all along

He was all wrong

And i knew that he thought (what?)

I was crazy

But i'm not.

Oh no (oh no?) (oh no?)

My analyst told me (what?)

That i was right out of my head.

But i said, dear doctor, (yeah?)

I think that it's you instead.

Cause I

Have got a thing

That's unique and new.

It proves that I'll have

The last laugh on you,

Cause instead of one head (one head?)

I got two

And you know two heads are better than one.
