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 REPEAT
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
CHORUS She s a maniac maniac I sure know And she s dancing like she s never danced before REPEAT
It can cut you like a knife if the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be
