Maniac

Maniac - Michael Sembello

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

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On the 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 blue line of 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 can come or pass you by

It's a push shove world

But there's always a chance

If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold kinetic heat

Struggling stretching for the peak

Never stopping

With her head against the wind

She's a maniac--maniac at your door

And she's dancing like

She's never danced before

She's a maniac--maniac

At your door

And she's dancing like

She's never danced before

It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

On the wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac--maniac at your door

And she's dancing like

She's never danced before

She's a maniac--maniac at your door

And she's dancing like

She's never danced

Before maniac maniac at your door

And she's dancing like she's never danced before
