Joni Mitchell - 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 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
don't know

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 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 laughed at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I be 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 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, I 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.

    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 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
    Oh no!
    They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
    With all my crazy ideas
    But I knew what was happenin', 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 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 swingin'
    They all laughed at Al Graham Bell
    They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
    So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
    The litany and the logic that went on in my head?
    I had a brain, it was insane
    Don't you 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 live
    I didn't listen to his jive
    I knew all along he was all wrong
    And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
    Oh no!

    'Cause instead of one head... I got two
    And you know two heads are better than one"

    This wasn't written by Joni Mitchell?? I thought she composed the entire album of Court and Spark

    j.... z....

    Peter Piperman originally performed by jazz vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. I grew up thinking it was joni`s song too.
