Lyrics Maniac - Carnival in Coal

Maniac

Claire
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
Marjorie
Locking rythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
Coralie
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift 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
Alexandra
On the ice bleu line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It’s a hard won place of mystery
Touch it but can’t hold it
Lydy
You work all your life for that moment in time
It can come or pass you by
It’s a push, shove world but there’s always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
Coralie
There’s a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
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
Coralie
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift 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
