Maniac (originally By Michael Sembello) Lyrics - Maniacs

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night 

Looking for the fight of her life 

In the real time world no one sees her at all 

They all say she's crazy 

Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart 

Changing movement into light 

She had danced into the danger zone 

When the dancer becomes the dance 

It can cut you like a knife 

If the fight becomes the fire 

On the 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 connective heat 

Struggling stretching for the peak 

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 fight becomes the fire 

On the 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 

I sure know, and she's dancing like she's never danced before 

She's a maniac, maniac I sure know
