Maniac

Just a steel-town girl on a Saturday night

Lookin' for the fight of her life

In the real time world, no one sees her at all

They all say she's crazy

Lockin' rhythms to the beat of her heart

Changing woman into life

She has danced into the danger zone

When the dancer becomes the dance

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

On the ice-filled line of sanity

Is a place most never see

It's a hard-won place of mystery

You can touch it, but can't hold it

You work all your life for that moment in time

It can come or pass you by

It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance

If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold connective heat

Struggling, stretching for defeat

Never stopping with her head against the wind

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before (before)

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (sure know)

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before (dancing like she's never danced before)

She's a maniac

Dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
