Sign ‘O’ The Times Lyrics By Prince

    oh yeah

    in france a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name
    by chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same
    at home there are seventeenyearold boys and their idea of fun is being in a gang called the disciples high on crack totin’ a machine gun
    time times

    hurricane annie ripped the ceiling of a church and killed everyone inside
    you turn on the telly and every other story is tellin’ you somebody died
    my sister killed her baby ’cause she couldn’t afford to feed it
    and we’re sending people to the moon
    in september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
    now he’s doing horse it’s june
    times times

    it’s silly no
    when a rocket ship explodes
    and everybody still wants to fly
    some say a man ain’t happy
    unless a man truly dies
    oh why
    time time

    baby make a speech star wars fly
    neighbors just shine it on
    but if a night falls and a bomb falls
    will anybody see the dawn
    time times

    is it silly no
    when a rocket blows up
    and everybody still wants to fly
    some say a man ain’t happy truly
    until a man truly dies
    oh why
    oh why
    sign o’ the times
    time time

    sign o’ the times mess with your mind
    hurry before it’s too late
    let’s fall in love get married have a baby
    we’ll call him nate if it’s a boy
    time times
    times time
