[Intro]
Dum da na da na
You said you can't find anything better to do
(You drive me crazy, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on a castle
On the floor with Esmeralda
Waitin' for the geezer
Captain Crunch to come around
Feelin' suicidal 'cause of certain situation
Hangin' from the stairs too long
I think I'm comin' down

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
Doin' tons of colon blow
Stuffing it in every hole
Mile high and so am I
Watching Jimi kiss the sky
Salle diner becomes a blur
With everybody jammin'
Republicans begin to sin
The batwings start a slammin'

[Chorus]
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
Yeah, maybe 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

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Captain Billy Beamish
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 marmite with their hash... ha ha ha

[Chorus]
Crash
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
And it's time to crash (crash, yeah)
Uumm, crash
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Well, 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

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
