Canção do dia

"Twisted" (de Wardell Gray e Annie Ross, cantada originalmente por Bette Midler, brilhantemente recriada pela belíssima Jane Monheit)

My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
The way he described it he said,
"You'd be better off dead
than alive."
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 you know 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 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 if's or and's or but's.
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 said, "Baby, this is meant for me, me, me, me."

I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight.
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night.
My parent's got frantic, didn't know what to do.
But I had saw some crazy things
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 A. Graham Bell,
they all laughed at Edison,
and also at Einstein.
So why should I feel sorry if they just
didn't understand the reasoning 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.
Aaaaaaah.

My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
But I said, "Doctor,
I think that it's you instead.
'Cause I got a thing that's so unique and new,
it proves that I got the last laugh on you.
'Cause instead of one head, ooh, I got two.
And you know two heads are better than one."
