Another unrelated lyric has caused some confusion, when [[Prince]] states "the opposite of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO NATO] is OTAN." While OTAN is the French acronym for NATO, it’s unclear if [[Prince]] is referring to this or something else. In live shows (including on the [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]] album), he changes the lyric to "the opposite of NATO is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotheism monotheism]". The lyric "Like a thief in the night, my Lord come and strike" is a reference to the Biblical New Testament passage [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205:2-4&version=NLT 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4], the earliest of the apostle [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_of_Tarsus Paul]’s letters to the early Christian churches. |
