Just a steel-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

Lockin' rhythms to the beat of her heart, changin' movement into light

She has danced into the danger zone

When the dancer becomes a dance

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes a fight

On a wire between where and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

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

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancin' 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 the 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 peak

Never stoppin' with her head against the wind

She's a maniac, maniac at your love

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

She's a maniac, maniac at your love

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

It can cut you like a knife, if the fight becomes the fan

On a wire between where and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

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

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

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

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

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

Maniac, maniac on the floor

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

Never before
