[English]

(If you can't find anything better to do)

(You drive me crazy)

Sittin' on a castle on the floor with Esmeralda

Waiting for the Geezer, Captain Crunch to come around

Feeling suicidal 'cause of certain situations

Hanging from the stairs too long, I think I'm coming down

It's time to crash

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

Yeah, it's time to (crash, crash, yeah)

It's time to (crash)

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

Losin' my mind, it's time to (crash, crash, yeah)

Doin' tons of Colon Blow, stuffing it in every hole

Mile high, so am I, watching Jimi kiss the sky

Salle dinner 'comes a blur with everybody jammin'

Republicans begin to sin, the batwings start a-slamming

It's time to crash

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

It's time to (crash, crash, yeah)

(Crash) It's time to

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

Mabye it's a little late, but it's time to (crash)

Crash, yeah

You drive me crazy

You drive me crazy

You drive me crazy

...

Captain Billy Beemish put a lamb up on a rack

Thanks for coming, Billy, and we hope you're comin' back

The castle will be waiting for the next bangers and mash

Blanche and Marsha Reznick put their marmack with their hash (hahahaha)

Crash (well)

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

And it's time to (crash) crash, yeah

(Crash)

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

(Crash) Crash, yeah

It's time to (crash)

(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Losin' my mind
