Lyrics

[00:24] Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
[00:27] Looking for the fight of her life
[00:30] In the real time world no one sees her at all
[00:33] They all say she's crazy
[00:36] Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
[00:39] Changing movement into light
[00:42] She has danced into the danger zone
[00:45] When the dancer becomes the dance.
[00:49] It can cut you like a knife
[00:52] If the gift becomes the fire
[00:55] On the wire between will and what will be.
[01:00][01:12] She's a maniac--maniac on the floor
[01:06][01:18] And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[01:27] On the ice blue line of insanity
[01:30] Is a place most never see
[01:33] It's a hard won place of mystery
[01:36] Touch it but can't hold it
[01:39] You work all your life for that moment in time
[01:42] It can come or pass you by
[01:45] It's a push, shove world but there's always a chance
[01:48] If the hunger stays the night
[01:52] There's a cold kinetic heat
[01:55] Struggling, stretching for the peak
[01:58] Never stopping with her head against the wind.
[02:03][02:15] She's a maniac--maniac at your door
[02:09][02:21] And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[02:28]
[03:17] It can cut you like a knife
[03:20] If the gift becomes the fire
[03:23] On the wire between will and what will be.
[03:28][03:40][03:53] She's a maniac--maniac at your door
[03:34][03:46] And she's dancing like she's never danced before
