Prince - Let’s Go Crazy lyrics

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here 2day 2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life, it means 4ever and that’s a mighty long time

But I’m here 2 tell U there’s somethin’ else

The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness

U can always see the sun, day or night

So when U call up that shrink in Beverly Hills

U 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 U’re on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring U down, go crazy

Punch a higher floor!

If U don’t like the world U’re living in

Take a look around U, at least U got friends

U see, I called my old lady 4 a friendly word

She just picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor

“Ahh! Ahh!” was all I heard

CHORUS:

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 4 the purple banana till 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, what’s it all 4?

U better live now before the grim reaper

Come knockin’ on your door

Tell me...

CHORUS

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 crazy! (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!

Take me away!
