[Bb]
[F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb] She's a steel-tongued girl on [E] a Saturday night, looking [Fm] for the fun of life.
[Bbm] In the real [F]-time world, [C] no one sees her at all.
[Bbm] They all say she's [Dm] crazy.
[A] [Bb] Locking rhythms to [Dm] the beat of her heart, [F] changing movement into light.
She has danced into [C] the danger zone when the dancer [Dm] becomes the [A] dance.
[G]
She can cut you like [Bb] a [A] knife, with the grip of [Bb] the fire.
On the wire between will [Dm] and what [Db] will be.
[Bb] She's a [E] maniac, [F] maniac on [Dm] the floor.
[Bb] And she's dancing like [C] she's never [Dm] danced before.
[Gm] [Bb] She's a maniac, [C] maniac [Dm] on the floor.
[C] [Bb] And she's dancing like [C] she's never danced [Bb] before.
[F]
[Bb] On the ice blue [F] line of insanity, it's a place most [A] never see.
[E] It's a hard-won place [Bb] of mystery, touch it but can't [Dm] hold it.
[A] [Bb] You worked all your life [F] for that moment in time, it could come or [Dm] pass you by.
[C] It's a push of a world, but there's always a chance, [Bb] if the hunger [Dm] stays the [A] night.
[F]
There's a cold [Bbm] genetic [A] peak, struggling, stretching [Bb] for the beat.
Never stopping with her [Dm] head against [A] the wind.
[Bb] She's a maniac, [F] maniac on the [Dm] floor.
[C] [Bb] And she's dancing like [F] she's never danced before.
[Dm]
[E] [Bb] She's a maniac, [C] maniac [Dm] on the floor.
[Bb] And she's dancing like [F] she's never danced [Dm] before.
