Apparently, hanging your mouth open and grabbing your face is, while not strictly a synonym, a well established gesture indicating "cinnamon".

石室詩士施氏，嗜獅，誓食十獅。
氏時時適市視獅。
十時，適十獅適市。
是時，適施氏適市。
氏視是十獅，恃矢勢，使是十獅逝世。
氏拾是十獅屍，適石室。
石室濕，氏使侍拭石室。
石室拭，氏始試食是十獅。
食時，始識是十獅屍，實十石獅屍。
試釋是事。
氏時時適市視獅。

It comes from the latin theo saurus meaning god lizard. It is a reference and tribute to the ascended poet Jim Morrison.

Yeah I typoed. Typing too fast.
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero
Party over, oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1.999 x 10^3
CUT! cut!
Producer: Ok what the heck was that?
Prince: Umm what I...I thought I'd change it up a bit
Producer: Yeah no that's not gonna work, it's 19 99, not 1 point 9 whatever you said...
Prince: 1.999 times 10 to the 3rd power?
Producer:Yeah that...
Prince: It's the same thing!
Producer: Yeah really? Really? You think people who can't adopt the metric system are gonna know what the hell that is?
Prince: I ummm... I thought maybe..
Producer: Yeah no we're going with nineteen ninety nine. OK FROM THE TOP PEOPLE and let's get it right this time I don't have all decade! 1, 2... 1, 2, 3, 4...

Shishi Shi Shi's poem, addicted lion oath eat ten lions.
City, as the lion's always appropriate.
Ten o'clock, ten lions appropriate city.
Yes, the appropriate Amur appropriate city.
Depending's ten lions, relies on the vector potential, so that those ten lions died.
Pick up the lion's ten dead, fitness sarcophagus.
Shishi wet, so that paternity swab sarcophagus.
Shishi Shi starts tasting those ten lions.
While eating, he realized that those ten lions were dead, ten lions really dead.
Interpretation is the thing.
In a stone den was a poet called Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten lions.
He often went to the market to look for lions.
At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market.
At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market.
He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die.
He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den.
The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it.
After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten lions.
When he ate, he realized that these ten lions were in fact ten stone lion corpses.
Try to explain this matter.
It's a homophonic pun in Chinese. Doesn't work if transrated.

When he wrote the song in the 80s, he was Prince. Not sure exactly when he changed his name though.
