Just a steel 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
 
  
  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 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-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 peak
 
 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
  
 
 Oh!
  
 
 It 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 (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
