Maniac
[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet & Eric Martin]
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 movement 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 the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus: Both]
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

[Verse 2: Tobias Sammet & Eric Martin]
On the iceblue 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 of the 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

[Chorus: Both]
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

[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Eric Martin]
It can cut you like a knife, if the fight becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus: Both]
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

[Outro]
She's a..
Maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
...never before...
