Let's Go Crazy by Prince

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 alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz 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

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you 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
(Sex, sex)
Is all I heard

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

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

We're all excited, but we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cuz, 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
Before 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
'Til 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 crazy
I said let's go crazy
(Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go, go, let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming, he's coming, coming
