All alone I have cried
silent tears made of cries
All alone I have cried
silent tears made of pride
First, when there's nothing but a slow moving train
First, when there's nothing but a slow flowing dream
I always thought this song could have been about a girl freebasing cocaine (flash) at a disco (dance) while shooting a Toyota commercial (What a feeling), but then what do I know??
First, when there's nothing, but a slow-blowing dream
First, when there's nothing, but a slow glowing dream
How I'm feeling
Pleased to meet them.
What a feeling
Being's believing.
I can ham it up
now I'm dancing for my life
I can have it all
now I'm dancing for my life
I can really ham it up
I can really have it all
I can really have it all, pictures come alive when I fall
Fall, fall, fall, fall, what a feeling
I can really have it all, pictures come alive when I call
Call, call, call, call, what a feeling
Background vocals near the end of the song

I thought the lyric made sense. The song was called Flashdance...
Take your pants off and make it happen.
Take your passion and make it happen.
Take your pants off, then make it happen
Take your passion and make it happen
The word "Flashdance" doesn't actually appear anywhere in the song, but Irene Cara came up with the song by thinking about the feeling of dancing, how a dancer is in total control or their body when dancing.
Take your pants off
And make it happen.
Take your passion
And make it happen.
Take your pants off
And, baby, hands off!
Take your passion
And make it happen.
Take your pants out and make it happen
Take your passion and make it happen
Take your pension,
And make it happen.
Take your passion
And make it happen.
Take your pleasure, make it happen
Take your passion and make it happen

That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
