Seal – Crazy Lyrics

Pop

How you doing, you okay?
You having a good time so far?
Yeah, me too
This is very special for me
Pay the price, take the chance
All we get is people going under

Only child
Only child knows
Only child
Only child knows, oh baby

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a brеaking wall
I see you, my friend
And touch your face again
Miracles will happеn as we trip

But we're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive
Unless we are a little crazy

Yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun
To shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, love, love, love)
If all were there when we first took the pill
There baby, now baby, there baby, now baby
Miracles will happen as we speak

But we're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive
Unless we are a little crazy

Oh no, we'll never survive
You see, unless we get a little bit crazy
No, no, no, we'll never survive
Unless we get a little bit
Unless we get a little bit
Unless we get a little bit
(Yeah, okay, time to let loose)
Unless we get a little bit
No, no, no
Unless we get a little bit

Oh darling, in a sky full of people
Only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people
Only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy? Crazy
In a heaven of people
There's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy? Oh baby
In a world full of people
There's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy? Ain't that crazy? Crazy

No, we're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
We're never gonna survive
Unless we are a little, you sing
We're never gonna survive
Unless we are a little
Everybody sing with your heart
Dublin, sing with your heart

We're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
We're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
Though we're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
We're never gonna survive
Unless we are a little crazy
Crazy
Crazy

Okay, take it right down
Slowly, take it right down
Then we'll see dreams the size of which we've never seen before
Then we'll see dreams the size of which we've never seen before
One day we'll see dreams the size of which we've never known before
They'll make it one day
Only child knows
I said they'll make it one day, one day
Yeah
I tell you, that's the best time we've ever played that live
I wonder why
Tosha
Oh-ay, oh-oh-ay, oh-ay, oh-oh-oh-oh-ay
Oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ay
Oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-ay, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ay

About This Song

"Crazy" is Seal's breakthrough hit that explores themes of spiritual awakening, human connection, and the necessity of embracing unconventional thinking to navigate life's challenges. The song's cryptic, stream-of-consciousness lyrics blend religious imagery with surreal metaphors, suggesting that surviving in a conformist world requires a willingness to think differently and maintain faith in miracles and human bonds. Musically, it features Seal's soaring, soulful vocals over a distinctive blend of pop, rock, and electronic elements, with lush production that builds to an anthemic chorus. The track's mystical, almost gospel-like quality combined with its accessible pop sensibilities helped establish Seal as a unique voice in early 1990s music, while its message about the value of being "crazy" enough to believe in transformation resonated with audiences seeking deeper meaning in popular music.
