Maniac B

The document is lyrics to the song "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. It describes a "steel town girl on a saturday night" who is looking for excitement in her life. She finds a release through dancing, which allows her to lose herself and escape her reality. The lyrics portray her dancing as intense and unrestrained, almost as if she becomes possessed on the dance floor, becoming a "maniac" who has danced in a way she never has before.

[Intro] Bb7M C7 Dm7 Bb7M C7 Dm7

[Verse]

Dm5+ Dm6
Just a steel town girl on a saturday night
Dm7 Dm7M
Looking for the fight of her life
Bb7M(9) Bb6(9)
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
Bb7M A4(7) A#7
They all say she's crazy
Dm5+ Dm6
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Dm7 Dm7M
Changing woman into life
Bb7M(9) Bb6(9)
She has danced into the danger zone
Bb7M A4(7) A7
When a dancer becomes a dance

[Bridge]

Gm7 A7
It can cut you like a knife,
Bb7M
If the gift becomes the fire
A4(7)
On a wire between will
A7
And what will be

[Chorus]

Bb7M
She's a maniac,
C7 Dm7
Maniac on the floor
Bb7M
And she's dancing like
C7 Dm7
She's never danced before
Bb7M
She's a maniac,
C7 Dm7
Maniac on the floor
Bb7M
And she's dancing like
C7 Gm7
She's never danced before
[Verse]

Dm5+ Dm6
On the ice-build iron sanity
Dm7 Dm7M
Is a place most never see
Bb7M(9) Bb6(9)
It's a hard warm place of mystery,
Bb7M A4(7) A7
Touch it, but can't hold it
Dm5+ Dm6
You work all your life for that moment in time,
Dm7 Dm7M
It could come or pass you by
Bb7M(9) Bb6(9)
It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance
Bb7M A4(7) A7
If the hunger stays the night

[Bridge]

Gm7 A7
There's a cold connective heat,
Bb7M
Struggling, stretching for defeat
A4(7)
Never stopping with her
A7
Head against the wind

[Chorus]

Bb7M
She's a maniac,
C7 Dm7
Maniac , I sure know
Bb7M
And she's dancing like
C7 Dm7
She's never danced before
Bb7M
She's a maniac,
C7 Dm7
Maniac, I sure know
Bb7M
And she's dancing like
C7 Gm7 F Em Em7
She's never danced before

[Interlude] Dm7 F Em7 (3x)

[Solo] Dm7 Dm5+ Dm6 Dm7 Dm7M


Bb7M(9) Bb6(9) Bb7M A4(7) A7 (2x)

[Bridge]

Gm7 A7
It can cut you like a knife,
Bb7M
If the gift becomes the fire
A4(7)
On a wire between will
A7
And what will be

[Chorus]

Bb7M
She's a maniac,
C7 Dm7
Maniac, I sure know
Bb7M
And she's dancing like
C7 Dm7
She's never danced before
