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.

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart

Changing movement into light

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-blue line of insanity

Is a place most never see

It's a hard-won place of mystery

Touch it, but can't hold it.

You work all your life for that moment in time

It could come or pass you by

It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance

If the hunger stays the night.

There's a cold kinetic heat

Struggling, stretching for the beat

Never stopping with her hair against the wind.

She's a maniac, maniac, at your door

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

She's a maniac, maniac, at your door

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, at your door (at your door)

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

She's a maniac, maniac, at your door

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

Maniac, maniac, at your door

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