Maniac

Just a still 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 woman 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
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 woman 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
