To Flashdance--She's a Maniac.
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Plotting out the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she’s crazy
Locking phrases to the beat of her heart
Changing adverbs into verb
She has written into the danger zone
Where the plotter becomes the plot
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you’re crafting
What will and will not be
She’s a maniac, maniac on the keyboard
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
She’s a maniac, maniac on the keyboard
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
On the prose-filled line of sanity
It’s a place most never see
It’s a hard-won place of mystery
You can read it but can’t hold it
We write our all our lives for that moment in time
It can come or pass us by
It’s the reader’s choice but there’s always a chance
If the hunger stays alive
There’s a cold creative heat
Struggling, stretching phrases sweet
Never stopping
With her fingers on the keys
She’s a maniac, maniac at the bookstore
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
She’s a maniac, maniac in Kindle’s store
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
Keyboard solo-clacka clacka
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you’re crafting
What will and will not be
She’s a maniac, maniac on the keyboard
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
She’s a maniac, maniac on the keyboard
And she’s typing like she’s never typed before
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Plotting out the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she’s crazy
Locking phrases to the beat of her heart
Changing adverbs into verb
She has written into the danger zone
Where the plotter becomes the plot
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you’re crafting
