10 More Days 'til Halloween...

Dearly beloved We are gathered here today

To get through this thing called "life"
Electric word, life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, babe
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy (Punch a higher floor)
Whoo

Added:  They allegedly found his body in the elevator at the lower levels, and dragged it out to the lobby awaiting responders to Paisley Park.  I think he was trying to punch up to the higher level to the very end, myself. (If ever an artist combined his spiritual/sexual and religious/gender beliefs in his work, it was Prince Rogers.  Rest in Power, eternal. You made it! That artistic flame is never going out...) ("I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touched the face of God" Not for space invaders only.)

added: he was only 5'2" and I don't want to tell you
what the autopsy said he weighed at the end...
"If you love someone, feed them." God knows Prince did.
