SNL "Fury" Screw Up?

Anyone else notice the lyric change in the studio "Fury" from the SNL version during the "will this song have a happy ending" part?

SNL:

Will this song have a happy ending?
Is this heart in need of mending?
Will this song have a happy ending?
Only she knows
Only the woman knows
Only she knows

Studio:

Will the flowers the dead keep sending
Heal this heart in need of mending?
Will this song have a happy ending?
Only the woman knows
Only she knows

I always thought the SNL version seemed awkward at that point...perhaps Prince just forgot the line? Not like him, but understandable...he was in the middle of switching board pedals and such. The studio lyrics flow much better...

Peace.

I dont know if he screwed up.

I noticed that a line in the SNL version of BLB is different from the studio version.

SNL version: "then you whispered to me girl the words I so now understand, oh."

Studio version: "cause when you whispered in my ear the words I so now understand, oh"

I don't know if that was a screw up or intentional.

In the context of the song, the SNL version doesn't make sense too me.

It wasn't a mistake.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

Prince is always messing up lyrics in live versions. He covers it up very well though.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Maybe he is true Gemini and likes to mix it up and keep changing things..
That is a trait of ours..

I haven't heard it either. I'm waiting for the actual release date. I also didn't find out the sex of our two kids until they were born. I like good surprises.
