Let's Go Crazy (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony) Songtext
von 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
'Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life you′re on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor
Woah


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 the elevator bring us down?
Oh 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 '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
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the 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 the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go

Go crazy
Woah
I said let′s 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
