Michael Sembello
Maniac
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like shе's never danced bеfore
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat
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
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

[Pre-Chorus]
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
