Who's Crazy/My Psychopharmacologist and I Songtext

von Alice Ripley

Who's crazy?
The husband or wife
Who's crazy?
To live their whole life
Believing that somehow
Things aren't as bizzare as they are
Who's crazy?
The one who can't cope
Or maybe
The one who still hopes
The one who sees doctors
Or the one who just waits in the car
And i was a wild 25
And i loved a wife so alive
But now i believe i would settle
For one who can drive...
(spoken) the round blue ones with food
But not with the oblonge white ones
The white ones with the round yellow ones
But not with the trapezoidal green ones
Split the green ones into thirds with a tiny chisel
Use a mortar and pestal to grind...
My psychcopharmicologist and i
It's like an odd romance
Intense and very intimate
We do our dance
My psychcopharmicologist and i
Call it a lovers game
He knows my deepest secrets
I know his.name
And though he'll never hold me
He'll always take my calls
It's truly like he told me
Without a little lift the ballerina falls
(doo doo doo)
(spoken) Goodman, Diana. Bipolar depressive with delusional episodes. 16 year history of medication. Adjustment after one week.

DIANA (spoken):
I've got less anxiety, but i have headaches, blurry vision, and i can't feel my toes.

DR. FINE (spoken):
So, we'll try again and eventually we'll get it right.

DIANA (spoken):
Not a very exact science, is it?

ALL VOICES:
Zoloft and Paxil and Buspar and Xanax
Depakote, Klonopin, Ambien, Prozac
Atavan calms me when i see the bills
These are a few of my favorite pills

DIANA (spoken):
Ooh. Thank you, Doctor. Valium is my favorite color. How'd ya know?

DR. FINE (spoken):
Goodman, Diana. Second adjustment after three weeks. Delusions less frequent but depressive state worse.

DIANA (spoken):
I'm nauseous, and I'm constipated, completely lost my appetite and gained 6 pounds, which ya know, is just not fair.

Use may be fatal

Use may be fatal

DR. FINE (spoken):
Goodman, Diana. Third adjustment after five weeks. Reports continued mild anxiety and some lingering depression.

DIANA (spoken):
I now can't feel my fingers or my toes.
I sweat profusely for no reason. Fortunately, i have absolutely no desire for sex. Although, whether thats the medicine or
The marriage is anybody's guess.

DR. FINE (spoken):
I'm sure its the medicine

DIANA (spoken):
Oh, thank you, that's very sweet.
But my husband's waiting in the car

Who's crazy?
The one who's half gone?
Or maybe the one who holds on
Remembering when she was twenty, and brilliant and bold
And i was so young, and so dumb, and now i am old
And she was wicked and wired
The sex was simply inspired
Now there's no sex
She's depressed and me i'm just tired, tired, tired, tired
Who's crazy?
The one who's uncured
Or maybe the one who's endured
The one who has treatments or the one who just lives with the pain

DIANA: And though he'll never hold me
He'll always take my calls
Its truly like he told me
Without a little lift the ballerina falls
My Psychopharmacologist and I
Together side by side
Without him I'd die
My Pyschopharmacologist and I

They say love is blind
But believe me love is insane

DR. FINE (spoken):
Goodman, Diana. Seven weeks.

DIANA (spoken):
I don't feel like myself. I mean, i don't feel anything.

DR. FINE (spoken):
Hmph. Patient stable.
