wandering from place to place? an aimless existence...frustration from having no clear destination with evil still existing in world? Great interpretation. I took it as meaning decidedly never still -- always in transit for fear of some harm laying in wait. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Once, in a thread, somebody said that the taxi cab is a methapore to say that, because of evil in worl (e.g. John Lennon walked when he was assassinated), Prince wouldon't love to be on the streets. | |

"Annie Christian" is a play on "Anti-Christian". Prince is basically blaming Satan 4 the problems in society. |
