Maniac Songtext

von Michael Sembello

Just a small 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

Lucky rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance

You 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-built iron insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch 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 shove world
But there's always a chance if the hunger stays the night

There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling stretching for the feet
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

You 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
