Unknown Song!

Look! I have a question about a song and or paticular album that has been haunting me for over 15 yrs! Prince has this song where he is playing the piano very strong at the beginning of the song and it slows down to a smooth tone. The only lyrics I remember is the first sentence, it goes, "Late at night, when the world is sleeping..." I know that is hardly anything but I have confidence in the experts in this site. A possible hint is the song may have come fom the Sign O' The Time era, however this song is unreleased. The biggest lead is that it may have come from an album that has his image with his three identities,Prince, Bob George, and Camille in illustarative form on the cover, which is also an unreleased album. On the cover one face has his eyes closed, the other has a devious looking smile, and the last has a seductive look w/ his tounge out-I think!?! If anyone can help me out where I can get this album and/or song or at least the title of the song, I'll apreatiate it! THANX!!! Peace and Love O+>

from HQ "Review by Uptown/Per Nilsen"


". The B-sides disc also includes Power Fantastic, recorded in March 1986 with several Revolution members. The song was based on a composition called Carousel by Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. Although Prince wrote new words to the song, Melvoin’s and Coleman’s names are conspicuously missing from the credits on The Hits/The B-Sides. "

Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feelings made of
Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played eleven measures
U will see fire, but u're cool as ice
U lie if u say this isn't nice.

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
What it is is what u want and need

Power, Power

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a wee bit apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Power, Power, Power Fantastic
