[00:03.75] Who's crazy
[00:04.96]
[00:05.73] The husband or wife
[00:07.80] Who's crazy
[00:08.77]
[00:09.56] To live their whole life
[00:11.55] Believing that somehow
[00:13.43] Things aren't as bizarre as they are
[00:16.93]
[00:18.85] Who's crazy
[00:20.56] The one who can't cope
[00:22.95] Or maybe the one who'll still hope
[00:26.67] The one who sees doctors
[00:28.47] Or the one who just waits in the car
[00:32.67]
[00:34.27] And I was
[00:36.46] A wild twenty-five
[00:38.12] And I loved
[00:40.12] A wife so alive
[00:42.07] But now I believe I would settle
[00:45.05] For one who can drive
[00:48.72]
[00:49.94] The round blue ones with food
[00:51.54] But not with the oblong
[00:52.30] White ones the white ones with the round yellow ones
[00:54.98] But not the trapezoidal green ones
[00:56.42] Split the green ones
[00:57.47] Into thirds with a tiny chisel
[00:58.94] Use a mortal and pestle to grind
[01:00.01] My psychopharmacologist and I
[01:03.71]
[01:04.49] It's like an odd romance
[01:07.60] Intense and very intimate
[01:09.74]
[01:10.49] We do our dance
[01:13.46]
[01:15.36] My psychopharmacologist and I
[01:18.70]
[01:19.92] Call it a lover's game
[01:22.45]
[01:22.99] He knows my deepest secrets
[01:25.24]
[01:26.14] I know his name
[01:30.60] And though he will
[01:31.91] Never hold me
[01:34.51] He'll always take my calls
[01:37.68]
[01:38.35] It's truly like he told me
[01:41.41]
[01:41.99] Without a little lift
[01:43.38] The ballerina falls
[01:48.52] Goodman diana
[01:49.25] Bipolar depressive with delusional episodes
[01:52.08] Sixteen-year history of medication
[01:54.13] Adjustments after one week
[01:55.70] I've got less anxiety but I have headaches blurry vision
[01:59.29] And I can't feel my toes
[02:00.84] So we'll try again and eventually we'll get it right
[02:03.94]
[02:04.49] Not a very exact science is it
[02:07.11]
[02:07.96] Zoloft and paxil and buspar and xanax
[02:11.35] Depakote klonopin ambien prozac
[02:15.33] Ativan calms me when I see the bills
[02:19.10] These are a few of my favorite pills
[02:22.82]
[02:23.56] Oh thank doctor
[02:25.29] Valium is my favorite color
[02:26.99]
[02:27.82] How'd you know
[02:28.89]
[02:29.75] Goodman diana second adjustment after three weeks
[02:32.67] Delusions less frequent but depressive state worse
[02:35.72] I'm nauseous and I'm constipated
[02:38.51] Completely lost my appetite and gained six pounds
[02:42.02] Which you know is just not fair
[02:44.73]
[02:45.98] May cause the following
[02:47.70] Side effects one or more
[02:49.67] Dizziness drowsiness
[02:51.56] Sexual dysfunction
[02:53.29] Headaches and tremors and nightmares and Palpitations
[02:55.36] Diarrhea constipation Nervous laughter seizures
[02:56.64] Anxiousness anger
[02:57.84] Exhaustion insomnia
[02:58.82] Irritability
[02:59.40] Nausea vomiting
[03:00.74] Odd and alarming sexual feelings
[03:02.39] Oh and one last thing
[03:03.79]
[03:05.16] Use may be fatal
[03:06.16] Use may be fatal
[03:07.16] Use may be fatal
[03:09.27]
[03:10.08] Goodman diana
[03:10.96] Third adjustment after five weeks reports
[03:13.32] Continued mild anxiety and some lingering depression
[03:16.71] I now can't feel my fingers or my toes
[03:19.40] I sweat profusely for no reason
[03:21.75]
[03:22.58] Fortunately
[03:23.49] I have absolutely no desire for
[03:25.39] Sex although whether that's the medicine or the marriage
[03:29.25] Is anybody's guess
[03:30.56] I'm sure it's the medicine
[03:32.11]
[03:32.75] Oh thank you that's very sweet
[03:34.94]
[03:36.85] But my husband's waiting
[03:37.70] In the car
[03:38.63]
[03:39.57] Who's crazy
[03:40.68]
[03:41.51] The one who's half-gone
[03:43.48] Or maybe
[03:44.51]
[03:45.24] The one who holds on
[03:47.18] Remembering when she was twenty
[03:49.96] And brilliant and bold
[03:53.14]
[03:54.39] And I was so young
[03:57.27] And so dumb
[03:58.55]
[03:59.49] And now I am old
[04:02.20] And she was
[04:03.01] And though he'll never
[04:04.33] Wicked and wired
[04:05.24] Hold me
[04:05.99] The sex was
[04:07.44] He'll always take
[04:08.60] Simply inspired
[04:09.46] My calls
[04:09.92] Now there's no sex
[04:11.47] It's truly like
[04:11.97] She's depressed
[04:12.43] He told me
[04:13.09] And me I'm just tired
[04:14.17] Without a little lift
[04:14.93] Tired tired tired
[04:15.64] The ballerina falls
[04:17.42] Who's crazy
[04:18.01] My psychopharmacologist
[04:19.36] The one who's uncured
[04:20.72] And I
[04:21.15] Or maybe
[04:21.95]
[04:22.82] The one who's endured
[04:24.20] Together side by side
[04:24.97] The one who has
[04:25.91] Without him I'd die
[04:26.82] Treatments
[04:27.02] Or the one who just
[04:27.71] My psychopharmacologist
[04:28.06] Lives with the pain
[04:29.36]
[04:30.30] And I
[04:31.77]
[04:32.37] They say love is blind
[04:34.43]
[04:35.04] But believe me
[04:36.76]
[04:37.38] Love is insane
[04:40.59]
[04:42.20] Goodman diana seven weeks
