Moonbeam Levels lyric

Now that's we've heard the cleanest recording, do we think he's saying

"please send all your moonbeam levels to me?"

Whatever that means.

I was never hearing "peace and glory of moonbeam levels to be" as The Vault and others so strongly believe.

So, what's the concensus?

The backing vocal in the third chorus seems to say 'send it/them to me', so that would back what you're hearing.

"I like to watch."

I don't have the cleanest recording but for the last 20+ years I've been sure he says "Please send all your moonbeam levels to me". Now I have to go listen again!

I've always heard this as "Please send all your moonbeam levels to me," and interpreted it as a prayer.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Add another vote for "Please send all your.........."

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

Moonbeam Levels

Yesterday I tried 2 write a novel but I didn't know where 2 begin
So I laid down in the grass tryin' 2 feel the world turn
Boy loses girl in a rain storm, nuclear World War III
All that's left is pain and sorrow, as far as he's concerned


He says please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die


Maybe he's lookin' 4 a different world
Maybe he's lookin' 4 a brand new high
Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn
Maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life
Maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all


So he says please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die


A newborn child knows nothing of destruction
Nothing of love and hate
What happens in between is a mystery
Because we don't give a damn about his fate


He said he'll never keep diaries 2 learn from his mistakes
Instead he'll just repeat all the good things that he's done
Fight 4 perfect love until it's perfect love he makes
When he's happy then his battle will be won (It's never 2 late)


Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
(Send your.. send 2 me)
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
(Send your levels 2 me)
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me
(Sending me your.. send 2 me)
I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die (Better place 2 die)


Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me (Oh yeah!)
Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me {x2}
He don't, he don't, he don't really wanna die
He don't wanna, he don't wanna, he don't wanna die {x2}
He don't really wanna die

Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap pimp2

And I descend from grace, In arms of undertow
I will take my place, In the great below

Thanks, Fragile. I lost my bootlegs a while ago. I had this song in my boots, but I forgot it was this good.

Damn, Prince. Deep lyrics. Prince needs to release this and soon.

still think my original misheard lyric is better:

"A place in all your movies...there must have been!"

Lol

It almost sounds like "Please send all your moonbeam levels to bed"

I was never a big fan of the song until now. Now I can't stop listening to it. I'm loving this cleaner sounding leak. music

I first heard this song in the early 90s on a boot CD that (as many boots did back then) incorrectly named the song "A Better Place 2 Die". For YEARS I could never figure out what he was saying in the chorus and it drove me crazy! When I discovered a list of unreleased songs in the early days of the net ('95 or '96) I saw "Moonbeam Levels" and a light went on. I was so ecstatic, it was like scratching an itch I hadn't been able to reach for years!
