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

lockin' rhythms to

the beat of her heart

changin' 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 a fire

on a wire between

will and what will be

She's a maniac

maniac on the floor

and she's dancin' like

she's never danced before

She's a maniac

maniac on the floor

and she's dancin' 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

strugglin', stretchin'

for the peak

never stoppin' with her

head against the wind

She's a maniac

maniac, I sure know

and she's dancin' like

she's never danced before

She's a maniac

maniac, I sure know

and she's dancin' like

she's never danced before

Ooh... Woah

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

ooh...

It can cut you like a knife

if the gift becomes a fire

on a wire between

will and what will be

She's a maniac

maniac, I sure know

and she's dancin' like

she's never danced before

She's a maniac

maniac, I sure know

and she's dancin' like

she's never danced before
