Phenomenon Page #10

Synopsis: John Travolta plays George Malley, who owns the local auto repair shop in a small California town. After celebrating his birthday with friends at the local bar/hang-out, George heads for home. He pauses to watch a strange light in the sky, then collapses for a few seconds in the middle of the deserted street. In the days and weeks that follow, George finds his IQ and consciousness expanding dramatically, and develops telekinetic abilities. Despite his attempts to explain what has happened to him, with just a very few exceptions, most of the local townspeople treat the "new" George as a freak. His state of isolation becomes even more pronounced when his new-found abilities allow him to correctly predict an earthquake, and outside authorities become interested in what's happened to him.

Think it through.

## The world

## One life is such

a short time for love

## When a match made

in heaven arrives

## Eternity is never enough

## With life

## Sweep you away into the night

## When there is no one else around

## l will make every day count

## We need to dance

## With life

## Swim in the soul of your eyes

## 'Til we melt into the ground

## Oh, we need to dance with life

## And leave a brilliant light behind

## lt's no secret how l feel

## This special moment l love you

## You seem to cover me up

and hide the deep

## The deep in me

To dance with life

## Breathe the sweet, fresh air

## And make every second your last

## And l'll touch you

Full moon shall wake you

## Make the most

of the present and the past

## l need to dance

## With life

## Sweep you away into the night

## When there is no one else around

## l will make every day count

## We need to dance

## With life

## Swim in the soul of your eyes

## 'Til we melt into the ground

## Oh, we need to dance with life

## And leave a brilliant light

## Leave a brilliant light

## Leave a brilliant light behind ##
