Music and Words by Duncan Browne



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A prima donna, slipped into her leather

But she was restless

She knew it in her heart of hearts

She said "Tonight youd better pull yourself together,

Because tonight Im gonna pull myself apart!"

Out on the streets

Everyone is searchin for a thrill

But shes the only one thats out there

really dressed to kill

And she said "Listen to me, its not a tragedy,

This time Im gettin thorough and now theres

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 dont wanna dream

I wanna set the wheels in motion

I dont wanna see your eyes across a dancin floor"

TV angel with her eyes full of smoke

Gazin at the hero, hes 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 dont wanna feel like a machine

Im not the only one who wants to feel the in-between

Thats why Im deep into this state of fascination

Thats why Ive lost the art of conversation.

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places

If you wanna see whats really in my soul

But youd 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

Its one dimension, its all so pass

Just then a voice said,

"Honey, its too late to change your mind"

Her face tightened

I could see shed found a new design

and she said, "Listen to me, its just a fantasy

This time Im comin through

and now theres something you can do for me...

Theres 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 dont 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."
