[Verse 1]

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 rhythms to the beat of her heart

Changing movement into light

She has danced into the danger zone

When the dancer becomes the dance

[Pre-Chorus]

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On the wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

On the ice-blue line around 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

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a cold, kinetic heat

Struggling, stretching for the peak

Never stopping with her head against the wind

[Chorus]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On the wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]

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

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
