Let's Go Crazy

Written by Prince

Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you, there's something else
The afterworld, a world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left?
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
This life you're on your own
And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you, at least you got friends
Come on lady, for friendly word
She picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor
Ahh, ahh, is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down, oh, no, let's go

Let's go crazy, let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go

All excited but we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause we're all gonna die
And when we do, what's it all for
Better live now before the grim reaper
Come knocking on your door

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down, oh, no, let's go

Let's go crazy, let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go
Come on, baby, let's get nuts
Yeah, crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no, let's go, go crazy
I said let's go, go crazy
Let's go, let's go, go, let's go

Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough, children
He's comin'
He's comin'
Comin'

Take me away
