Didn’t I See This Movie? Lyrics by Alice Ripley

Next to Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[DIANA]
Didn't I see this movie
With McMurphy and the nurse?
That hospital was heavy
But this cuckoo's nest is worse
And isn't this the one where
In the end the good guys fry?
Didn't I see this movie
And didn't I cry?
Didn't I cry?
[DR. MADDEN, spoken]
The modern procedure's clean and simple. The electricity required is barely enough to light a hundred-watt bulb. 
[DIANA]
What makes you think
I'd lose my mind for you?
I'm no sociopath
I'm no Sylvia Plath
I ain't no Frances Farmer
Kind of find for you
So stay out of my brain
I'm no princess of pain
Didn't I see this movie
Where the doctor looked like you?
Where the patient got impatient
And said "sorry, doc, I'm through."
I know where this is going
And I know what you're about
'Cause I have seen this movie
And I walked out
I walked out
I'm walking
