Just a small 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
|
I sure know
|
Like she's never danced before
|
She's a maniac, maniac
|
I sure know
|
And she's dancing
|
Like she's never danced before
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
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
|
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
|
