Michael Sembello - Maniac Lyrics

[@marilynnnesheiwat3357]

I was in the gym taking a break when This man came in with his phone blasting this song, he started waving his arms in a circular motion to stretch, the man literally did not care what people thought. He's my inspiration.

[@jzip]

Did he star dancing like he has never danced before? Lol joking aside man that's cool my social anxiety wouldn't let me do that.

[@DynoSkrimisher]

A hero we need but not the hero we deserve.

[@stevenfriedman2902]

I mean it is a great song that can also be inspirational to fighters since fighters sometimes call a fight a dance. That's the way I like to interpret it in my head anyways and translate it to "the fighter becomes the fight"

Back in the days when music was great, 80’s the best decade in music, I turned 9 in 1983 and one my birthday gifts was the soundtrack audio cassette, that I still have 40 years later.

[@ultraguy8771]

I am just wondering why wasn't this song added to GTA Vice City or VCS.

[@roberte.bennett8327]

CORRECTED LYRICS: 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 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 On the ice blue line of insanity, is a place most never see It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it You work all your life for that moment in time It could come or pass you by It's a push, shove world but there's always a chance if the hunger stays the night There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the peak never stopping with her head against the wind She's a maniac, maniac I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before 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 I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before Maniac, maniac I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac I sure know and she's dancing like she's never danced before

[@Audioandlyrics]

A lot of mistakes *Steeltown *Changing movement into light *When the dance becomes the dance *On the ice blue line *hard won *it’s a push, shove world *Struggling, stretching for the peak *At Your door (not I Sure Know)

No, it’s not Michaels fault, he didn’t publish the wrong lyrics. It’s the fault of the person here on KZbin who made this video

Let's dance right now!!!!!

[@anonymousunknown4771]

Would have done the same, but I'm sure I'm going to hell. The only dance I'll be doing is the dance of pain

[@ForeverXO]

@@anonymousunknown4771 , I hope you'll talk to me about that, because it's your decision you're making. There's still some time to choose the fate of your soul and you do not have to be perfect to ask God and Christ into your life. Start talking to God daily and you'll be surprised by what unfolds and you'll be glad you did. ✨
