Bb - C - Dm (2x)
Dm
1. Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night,
Dm
lookin’ for the fight of her life.
Bb
In the real-time world no one
sees her at all,
A
they
all say she's crazy.
Dm
2. Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart,
Dm
changing
movement into light,
Bb
she
has danced into the danger zone,
A
when
the dancer becomes the dance.
G A Bb
It can cut you like a knife if
the gift becomes the fire
A A7
on a
wire between will and what will be.
Bb
C Dm
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor,
Bb C Dm
and she's dancing like she's never
danced before.
Bb C Dm
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor,
Bb C A - A7
and she's dancing like she's
never danced before. + Dm
Dm
2. On the ice blue line of insanity
Dm
is a
place most never see,
Bb
it's
a hard-won place of mystery,
A
touch
it but can't hold it.
Dm
4. You work all your life, for that moment in time,
Dm
it
could come or pass you by,
Bb
it's
a push-shove world, but there's always a chance,
A
if
the hunger stays the night.
G A Bb
There's a cold kinetic heat,
struggling, stretching for the beat,
A A7
never
stopping with her head against the wind.
Bb C Dm
She's a maniac, maniac, at your love,
Bb C Dm
and she's dancing like she's
never danced before.
Bb C Dm
She's a maniac, maniac, at your love,
Bb C A - A7
and she's dancing like she's
never danced before.
