Prince, Prince and The Revolution - Let's Go Crazy (Live in Syracuse, NY, 3/30/85) James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the March 30, 1985 Purple Rain Tour stop that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live

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

Let's go crazy (woo)

Let's go crazy

Let's go crazy

Let's go crazy

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, lets 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

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, there it is

Yeah yeah, no no (oh yeah)

We're all excited (all excited)

Don't know why (I don't know why)

Maybe it's 'cause

We're all gonna die

When we do

What's it all for? (What's it all for?)

Better live now

Before the grim reaper comes knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let elevator bring us down?

Oh no, let's go

Let's go crazy (let's go crazy)

Let's get nuts (let's get nuts)

Let's look for the purple banana

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

C'mon, baby

Let's get nuts

Yeah

Oh (Crazy)

Are we gonna let elevator bring us down?

Oh no, let's go

Let's go crazy (let's go crazy)

Let's get nuts (let's get nuts)

Let's look for the purple banana (let's look)

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

Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright

Make everything go wrong

Oh

Ooh

Yeah yeah, let's go
