It also contains samples from earlier Prince songs "Eye No" and " Batdance," as well as a dub version of the house track. The maxi-single also contains a Junior Vasquez remix called " Thieves in the House", which is distinctly more dance oriented. The maxi-single contains extended lyrics that continue the theme before diverging into more dance-oriented material. The "temple" in the title recalls the ever-present spirituality in many of Prince's songs. The vocals are emotional, and accuse the subject of rejecting Prince and lying to him.
Prince also samples a harmonica solo from a recording by The Chambers Brothers. The track has a unique sound, starting quietly with echoed keyboards and vocals before the main section of the song booms in with a pulsating synth bass, syncopated drum machines, Middle Eastern melodies and opera-like layered vocals. The single also peaked at number 9 on the dance charts. R&B chart and became a number six hit in the U.S., and a number seven hit in the UK.
Added at the last minute, it was the final song recorded for the album.
" Thieves in the Temple" is a song by Prince from the 1990 soundtrack album, Graffiti Bridge.
