Just a steel town
Girl on a Saturday night,
Looking 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 the beat of her heart.
Changing movement into light.
She has danced into the danger zone.
When the dancer becomes the 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.
The ice-blue line of insanity.
It's a place most never see.
It's a hard-won place of mystery.
Touch it but can't hold it.
