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."
