Lyrics Avantasia – Maniac
Text:
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
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 the fire
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-thin little 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 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 the fire
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
