Lyrics: Michael Sembello
Just a still 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 says 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 the 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 is 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
There is 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
