Lyrics of
Maniac

Maniac was inspired by 1980s horror films and initially had darker lyrics but was rewritten to fit the Flashdance movie.

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
Cadd9(13) B7sus4 B7

It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the 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
