Let's Go Crazy
Prince & The Revolution - Lyrics

Dearly beloved
Hello, friends and loved ones

We are gathered here today
We are here together in this moment

To get through this thing called life
To navigate the ups and downs of existence

Electric word life
The concept of 'life'

It means forever and that's a mighty long time
It lasts a very long time

But I'm here to tell you
But I have news for you

There's something else
There's another realm

The after world
The world beyond death

A world of never ending happiness
A place of infinite joy

You can always see the sun, day or night
The sun shines all the time

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
When you see a therapist

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
You know the cliched therapist

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Instead of worrying about how much time you have left

Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Ask him how much of yourself you have left

'Cause in this life
Because in our existence

Things are much harder than in the after world
Life is more difficult than the afterlife

In this life
Here and now

You're on your own
You must fend for yourself

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
If something drags you down

Go crazy, punch a higher floor
Rebel against it

If you don't like the world you're living in
If you dislike the world around you

Take a look around you
Observe your surroundings

At least you got friends
You have companionship and support

You see I called my old lady
I called my significant other

For a friendly word
To hear a kind voice

She picked up the phone
She answered my call

Dropped it on the floor
But then hung up on me

(Ah, ah) is all I heard
I heard nothing but silence on the other end

Are we gonna let the elevator
Will we allow obstacles

Bring us down
To drag us down

Oh, no let's go!
No, let's rebel

Let's go crazy
Let's break the rules

Let's get nuts
Let's go wild

Let's look for the purple banana
Let's search for something extraordinary

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
Before we're taken away, let's have fun

We're all excited
We're all hyped up

But we don't know why
Without knowing why

Maybe it's 'cause
Maybe because

We're all gonna die
We'll all pass away one day

And when we do (When we do)
And when that time comes

What's it all for (What's it all for)
What's the point

You better live now
Make the most of your time

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Before death visits you

C'mon baby
Let's go

Let's get nuts
Let's go wild

Yeah
Yes

Crazy
Unconventional, wild

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
I mean let's go wild

Let's go, let's go
Come on, move it

Go
Move

Dr. Everything'll be alright
The cliche therapist

Will make everything go wrong
Might not be able to help

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Substances can be dangerous

Hang tough children
Stay strong

He's coming
Death is coming for us all

He's coming
Death is inevitable

Take me away!
Take me to the afterlife.
