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

These demons 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

Xonax, Remeron, Therapy, Buspiron
Anger, Fear and Shame

Again the dance
I do the Maniac Dance
Just like in trance
I do the Maniac Dance

We drifted apart on the sea of life
Sailed into new horizons, out of sight
We lost the way, we lost the key
But the spirit was kept alive and free

Now destiny has brought us back
We are here before your eyes, we hear your cries
And that's why tonight we all make history
We're together again calling you

United we stand - divided we fall
Our destiny's here tonight with you all
Through wind and thunder we sailed to your shore
We did not give up, so open the door

'cause we're united
We stand united

It's great to look into the eyes of a friend
And shake his hand and thank him for the years
And it's great to see you all here
We're together again calling you

United we stand - divided we fall
Our destiny's here tonight with you all
Through wind and thunder we sailed to your shore
We did not give up, so open the door

United we stand - divided we fall
The sun is shining for each and for all
The future is bright and there's hope in the air
Together we're singing, together we care

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

Just like in trance
I do the Maniac Dance

These demons 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
