Time will put you in your place, just wait   always courting the angels but you end up with devil's lips   I think sometimes you wonder who is in control         But these mechanical moves   they fit you well, Mr. Prince   as all the stars and the moons   get dusted for your finger prints      You laugh behind the sympathy   that you sing to yourself to sleep peacefully      I'm just waiting for a sign from behind the lines   a sunrise at no one's expense the punchline divine   I think we'll finally get it as you lose control      But these mechanical moves   they fit you well, Mr. Prince   as all the stars and the moons   get dusted for your finger prints      You sink behind the symphony   that you sing to yourself to sleep peacefully.   That you sing to yourself to sleep peacefully.   That you sing to yourself to sleep peacefully.   But you're sinking yourself so just hurry.
