For God's sake give me a drink
And keep them coming so
I can't stop for breath.
I want to get crazy--
I want to get crazy.

Crazy like Alcmeon,
And that barefoot Orestes,
Those goddamn mother-stabbers.
I ain't hurting no one,
But I need some red wine:
I want to get crazy--
I want to get crazy.

Heracles went crazy,
Once upon a time,
Waving that scary quiver
And Iphitus' bow around;
Ajax, too, way back when,
Shaking his shield
And Hector's sword.
Me, I've just got my bottle
And some flowers in my hair,
Not a bow or a sword;
I want to get crazy--
I want to get crazy.

--Anacreon
