Maniac - Michael Sembello

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 rhythm to the beat of her heart,

changing movement into light.

She had 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.

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.
