Maniac – Michael Sembello (Flashdance)

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 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 thefire

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 thefire

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
