Just a still 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 woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone
When a dancer becomes a 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
(On the floor)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
(She's dancing like)
She's a maniac
Maniac on the floor
(On the floor)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
(Never danced before)

On the ice-build iron insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard warm 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 of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

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 should know
(I should know! )
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
(She's danced before)
She's a maniac
Maniac, I sure know
(I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac
Maniac, I should know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
(She's dancing like)
She's a maniac
Maniac, I should know
(I should know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
