I Cut. Dissolve. 2 A Purple Floor.

Does Anyone think that this opening line from "The Continental" is as funny as I do?

I love Prince's sense of humor.

According to the music book for that album, that line (which is the start of the second verse, not the first) is actually

"Alright, cut..."

But what's weird is that in the music book, in the two measures before the first verse (starting at "Eye can see U..." is "WHEN IN SEARCH OF TRUTH" except printed backwards.

The music book is simply attempting to copy all of the lyrics provided in the CD liner booklet - including the mirror messages in their precise positions.

You'll see the same if you look at the music book for such tracks as 'Love 2 The 9's', which shows four mirror messages, for example.
