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 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

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-build iron sanity 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

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

Maniac, maniac, I sure know
