Crash

Aerosmith · Nine Lives

Sitting on a castle
On the floor with Esmorelda
Waiting for the Geezer
Captain Crunch to come around
Feeling suicidal
´Coz 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

Doin´ tons of coke and blow
Stuffing it in every hole
Miles high so am I
Watching Jimi kiss the sky
Salle diner becomes 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
Maybe it´s a little late but it´s time to crash

You drive me crazy

Captain Billy Beemish
Put a lamb up on a rack
Thanks for coming Billy
And we hop you´re coming back
The castle will be waiting
For next bangers and mash
Blanche and Marsha Reznick
Put their marmite with their hash

It´s time to crash
Losin´ my mind, losin´ my mind, losin´ my mind
Yeah it´s time to crash

Crash

Crash stands as a defining track from Aerosmith's 1997 album Nine Lives, marking a pivotal moment in the band's late-career resurgence. Released during an era where the group successfully blended hard rock with bluesy undertones, the song showcases their signature gritty vocal delivery and powerful guitar work. The recording captures the band's ability to craft anthemic rock that resonates with both longtime fans and new listeners. As part of a critically acclaimed period that revitalized their commercial standing, the track exemplifies the polished yet raw energy that characterized their output in the late nineties. It remains a testament to the group's enduring influence on American rock music and their capacity to deliver high-impact performances without relying on fleeting trends.
