Forgotten Places (Alif Trees La Mix)

Barry Manilow
 Miscellaneous
 Wild Places
 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."
