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 
Changing moment 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 the fire 
All the while you're between 
Will and what will be 

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor 
And she's dancing like she never danced before 
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor 
And she's dancing like she never danced before 

On the ice-filled line of sanity 
It's a place most never see 
It's a hard-won place of mystery 
You can touch it but can't hold it 

You work all your life for that moment in time 
It can come or pass you by 
It's a push of the world but there's always a chance 
If the hunger stays alive 

There's a cold kinetic heat 
Struggling, stretching for the beat 
Never stopping 
With her hair against the wind 

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor 
And she's dancing like she never danced before 
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor 
And she's dancing like she never danced before 

It can cut you like a knife 
If the gift becomes the fire 
All the while you're between 
Will and what will be 

She's a maniac, maniac at your door 
And she's dancing like she never danced before 
She's a maniac, maniac at your door 
And she's dancing like she never danced before
