Next To Normal - Who\'s Crazy / My Psychopharmacologist And I lyrics
rate meDan:<br />
Who's crazy?<br />
The husband or wife?<br />
Who's crazy?<br />
To live their whole life<br />
Believing that somehow<br />
Things aren't as bizarre as they are?<br />
<br />
Who's crazy—<br />
The one who can't cope, <br />
Or maybe the one who'll still hope?<br />
The one who sees doctors<br />
Or the one who just waits in the car?<br />
<br />
And I was<br />
A wild twenty-five, <br />
And I loved<br />
A wife so alive, <br />
But now I believe I would settle<br />
For one who can drive.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />
The round blue ones with food, but not with the oblong<br />
White ones, the white ones with the round yellow ones<br />
But not the trapezoidal green ones. Split the green ones<br />
Into thirds with a tiny chisel, use a mortal and pestle to grind... <br />
<br />
Diana:<br />
My psychopharmacologist and I... <br />
It's like an odd romance—<br />
Intense and very intimate, <br />
We do our dance.<br />
My psychopharmacologist and I... <br />
Call it a lover's game—<br />
He knows my deepest secrets—<br />
I know his... name.<br />
<br />
And though he will<br />
Never hold me, <br />
He'll always take my calls.<br />
It's truly like he told me:<br />
Without a little lift, <br />
The ballerina falls.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />

Sixteen-year history of medication. Adjustments after one<br />
Week.<br />

Diana: [Spoken]<br />
I've got less anxiety, but I have headaches, blurry vision, <br />
And I can't feel my toes.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />
So we'll try again, and eventually we'll get it right.<br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
Not a very exact science, is it?<br />
<br />
Voices:<br />
Zoloft and Paxil and Buspar and Xanax... <br />
Depakote, Klonopin, Ambien, Prozac... <br />
Ativan calms me when I see the bills—<br />
These are a few of my favorite pills.<br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
Oh, thank, Doctor. Valium is my favorite color. How'd<br />
You know?<br />
<br />

Continued mild anxiety and some lingering depression.<br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
I now can't feel my fingers or my toes. I sweat profusely<br />
For no reason. Fortunately, I have absolutely no desire for<br />
Sex. Although whether that's the medicine or the marriage<br />
Is anybody's guess.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />
I'm sure it's the medicine.<br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
Oh, thank you, that's very sweet. But my husband's waiting<br />
In the car.<br />
<br />
Dan:<br />
Who's crazy?<br />
The one who's half-gone?<br />
Or maybe<br />
The one who holds on?<br />
Remembering when she was twenty, <br />
And brilliant and bold.<br />
And I was so young, <br />
And so dumb, <br />
And now I am old.<br />
Diana:<br />
And she was And though he'll never<br />
Wicked and wired. Hold me, <br />
The sex was He'll always take<br />
Simply inspired. My calls.<br />
Now there's no sex, It's truly like<br />
She's depressed, He told me—<br />
And me I'm just tired. Without a little lift<br />
Tired. Tired. Tired. The ballerina falls.<br />
<br />
Who's crazy— My psychopharmacologist<br />
The one who's uncured? And I, <br />
Or maybe<br />
The one who's endured? Together side by side... <br />
The one who has Without him I'd die... <br />
Treatments, <br />
Or the one who just My psychopharmacologist<br />
Lives with the pain? And I.<br />
<br />
They say love is blind, <br />
But believe me—<br />
Love is insane.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />
Goodman, Diana. Seven weeks.<br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
I don't feel like myself. I mean, I don't feel anything.<br />
<br />
Doctor Fine: [Spoken]<br />
