"Let's Go Crazy" lyrics
Prince And The Revolution Lyrics
"Let's Go Crazy"
(from "Purple Rain" soundtrack)
Dearly beloved
We are 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-All-Right
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, babe
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy (Punch a higher floor)
Whoo
If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends
You see, I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
"Ah, ah," 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
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go
Come..
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for? (What's it all for?)
You better live now
'Fore The Grim Reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, 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
Until they put us in the truck, let's go
C'mon, 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 (Go crazy)
Whoo!
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go (Let's go)
Go (Let's go)
Dr. Everything'll-Be-All-Right
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough, children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!

Heart - "Barracuda" So this ain't the end, I saw you again, today
I had to turn my heart away
Smile like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me...
The Pretenders - "Don't Get Me Wrong" Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with...
Beastie Boys - "Fight For Your Right" Yeah
Kick it!
You wake up late for school, man, you don't wanna go
You ask your mom, "Please?" but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like...
Fleetwood Mac - "Hold Me" Can you understand me
Baby, don't you hand me a line
Although it doesn't matter
You and me got plenty of time
There's nobody in the future
So baby let me hand you my love
There's no step for you to...
Billy Joel - "Only The Good Die Young" Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to...
