"Hallway Sppech" lyrics?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...puter_Blue


Are these lyrics accurate?...most of them seem correct but some do not, can anyone help?

He didn't like living alone (he didn't like living *home* alone?)
The house where he lived had many hallways
It was a long walk 2 his bedroom
Because 2 him each hallway represented an emotion
Every one vastly different from the next
One day while she was with him
He decided 2 name each one (*He decided 2 name each one as they passed through them*?)
She walked by his side, one hand on his thigh (*She was at his side*?)
No - she was sort of half a step behind him (No - *wait* ?)
Yeah, the grip on his thigh intensified
As they walked slowly through the corridor
He named the hallway "Lust"
And as they passed through the next one
He named it "Fear"
The grip she now loosened (*Her* grip?)
So he walked faster
Her hands now trembling
She let dropped 2 her side as he wrote the word "Insecurity"
He looked into her eyes and smiled a demon smile
And quickly walked onto the next
Corridor after corridor
He named almost all when suddenly… he stopped
He picked up the word "Hate" (He *painted*?)
She was gone
So he picked up another – "Pain" (*So he painted the last one*?)

Aren't these from The Halls Of Desire, a song Prince wrote for Tevin Campbell, released in 1993 on I'm Ready?

Oh, man, my Prince fandom is in jeopardy omg - I haven't listened to that in years. The lyrics just looked so... 1990s boxed

Time to dig that one out again. Is there a decent-sounding full-length version out there now?

no no no! i've lost a little respect for you today booyah neutral

Best source right now, and it's all *stereo* sound ( not the mono crap on the original pressed Vol. I of The Work) can be found on disc 4 of The Work Vol. 1 - Enhanced Edition....track one smile
