Maniac Dance

Stratovarius · Maniac Dance [2005]

This year has been a nightmare

I've been so low, I don't care

I've dwelled in depths of darkness

Swam across the ocean of pain



I've fed the tabloids, the media

It's a bottomless pit, a redia

Front pages, gossips, knifings, drunken nights and days



Sadness, rage, hopelessness

I am nothing without you



Again the dance

I do the maniac dance

Just like in trance

I do the maniac dance



This demon serves me well

It wants to send me to the depths of hell

A roller coaster ride it has been I can tell

I'm a walking miracle of medicine

A real catastrophe on legs

A proud member of human race known as the dregs



Xanax, Remeron, Therapy, Buspiron

Anger, Fear and Shame



Again the dance

I do the maniac dance

Just like in trance

I do the maniac dance
