Maniac Lyrics
Just a still 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 woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone
When a dancer becomes a 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-build iron sanity is a place most never see
It's a hard warm 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 of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
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
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, 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
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone
When a dancer becomes a dance
On a wire between will and what will be
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
It's a hard warm 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 of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
Never stopping with her head against the wind
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
On a wire between will and what will be
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

This is the first time I have ever read the lyrics, and I think this an amazing work of poetry too, gladly metaphysical: a woman becoming something so much more through rhythm and movement...

Oh Lord...
This is one of the songs from American Pie: The Wedding in the gay bar scene, best song ever
Twas not. Flash Dance movie. HUGE hit...pretty girl (sensual) who came from nothing and made it to the top through her dancing ability. Just about everyone could relate to her struggle and celebrated her success. I ran out and bought the album the next day after seeing the movie.
