Barry Manilow Wild Places Lyrics

Wild Places Lyrics

A prima donna, slipped into her leather

But she was restless

She
knew it in her heart of hearts

She said "Tonight you'd better pull
yourself together, 

Because tonight I'm gonna pull myself apart!" 

Out on the streets

Everyone is searchin' for a thrill

But she's
the only one that's out there

really dressed to kill

And she said
"Listen to me, it's not a tragedy, 

This time I'm gettin' thorough and
now there's 

something you can do for me! 

And oh, oh, take me to
the Wild Places

And let me show you what the night is for

Cos I
don't wanna dream

I wanna set the wheels in motion

I don't wanna
see your eyes across a dancin' floor" 

TV angel with her eyes full of
smoke

Gazin' at the hero, he's so mucho macho

He shrugs, he says
"This must be some kind on joke." 

As she pulls on his cigarette and
loves him to distraction. 

But she cries, "I don't wanna feel like a
machine

I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between

That's why I'm deep into this state of fascination

That's why I've lost
the art of conversation. 

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places

If
you wanna see what's really in my soul

But you'd better keep your eye on
where my pretty face is

Cos in the heat of the moment I just lose
control

In the heat of the moment, I just lose control!" 

Eyes out
of focus, the sharpening of blades

The sad tension, reek of patchouli

Even the jokers are dealin' in spades

It's one dimension, it's all so
passé'

Just then a voice said, 

"Honey, it's too late to change
your mind" 

Her face tightened

I could see she'd found a new
design

and she said, "Listen to me, it's just a fantasy

This time
I'm comin through

and now there's something you can do for me... 

There's something you can do for me! 

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild
Places

And let me show you what the night is for

I don't wanna
dream, I wanna set the wheels in motion

Cos' in the heat of the moment I
just lose control

In the heat of the moment I just lose control."
