Maniac - Avantasia, Eric Martin

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
