Lyrics

[Intro]

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

[Intro]

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

[Intro]

And if de-elevator tries to bring you down

Go crazy, punch a higher floor

Woo

[Verse 1]

If you don't like

The world you're living in

Take a look around you

At least you got friends

I called my old lady

For a friendly word

She just picked up the phone

Dropped it on the floor

Ah, ah, is all I heard

[PreChorus]

I'm not gonna let de-elevator bring us down (Oh no, let's go)

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

Tell me

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down? (Oh no, let's go)

[Chorus]

Let's go crazy

Let's get nuts

Look for the purple banana

Until they put us in the truck, let's go

[Bridge]

Come on, baby

Let's get nuts

Yeah

Crazy

[Bridge]

Let's go crazy

[PreChorus]

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down? (Oh no, let's go)

Go crazy

Woo

[Bridge]

I said, let's go crazy (Go crazy)

Let's go (Let's go)

Go (Let's go)

[Outro]

Dr. Everything'll be alright'll make everything go wrong

And the pills and thrills and daffodils will kill

Hang tough, children

He's coming

He's coming

Coming

[Outro]

Take me away
