Tekst piosenki
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 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 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-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 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 beat Never stopping with her hair 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 a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac, at your door (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
