Get up in the evening,
And I ain't got nothing to say,
I come home in the morning,
Go to bed feeling the same way,
I ain't nothing but tired,
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself,
Hey there baby,
I could use just a little help,
You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark,
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
As it just keeps getting clearer,
Radio's on and I'm movin' round the place,
I check my look in the mirror,
Wanna change my clothes my hair my face,
Man I ain't getting nowhere,
I'm just livin in a dumb blackness,
There's something happening somewhere,
Baby I just know that there is,
You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark,
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Sit around getting older,
There's a joke here somewhere and its on me,
I shake this world off my shoulders,
Come on baby the laughs on me,
Stay on the streets of this town,
They'll be carving you up alright,
They say you gotta stay hungry,
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight,
I'm dying for some action,
Sick of sitting round here
Tryna write this book,
I need a love reaction,
Come on now, baby give me just one look,
You can't start a fire,
Cryin' over a broken heart,
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark,
You can't start a fire,
Worrying about,
Your little world falling apart,
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Dancin' in the dark.
