Lyrics :
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday nightLookin’ for the fight of her lifeIn the real-time world no one sees her at allThey all say she’s crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heartChanging movement into lightShe has danced into the danger zoneWhen the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fireOn a wire between will and what will be
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floorAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced beforeShe’s a maniac, maniac on the floorAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never seeIt’s a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can’t hold itYou work all your life for thatMoment in time, it could come or pass you byIt’s a push-shove world, but there’s always a chanceIf the hunger stays the night
There’s a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beatNever stopping with her head against the wind
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure knowAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced beforeShe’s a maniac, maniac, I sure knowAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fireOn a wire between will and what will be
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)And she’s dancing like she’s never danced beforeShe’s a maniac, maniac, I sure knowAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced beforeManiac, maniac, I sure knowAnd she’s dancing like she’s never danced beforeShe’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
