I think this one of Prince's more interesting 'vaguely spiritual' songs. It's usually exotica, erotica or spirituality with Prince, but in this one he doesn't over cook the basic idea. I guess it's about people valuing opinions and possessions over spirituality or life's true meaning etc... It's not a subject I usually care for, but Prince does these kinds of songs so well. Plus I love how in the video he's dressed up as a gothic, dandy pimp. This came out around his mid-90s 'melt-down' period. Gotta love the whacky era Prince.
