Two, three, yeah
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
Come home in the morning
Go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use just a little help
Can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on, and I'm moving 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Oh, baby, I just know that there is
Can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Oh-oh, even if we're just dancing in the dark
Oh-oh, even if we're just dancing
Sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere, and it's on me
Shake the world off your shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say, "You gotta stay hungry"
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
Sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, give me just one look
Can't start a fire
Just crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
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
Oh-oh-oh, even if we're just dancing in the dark
Ooh, even if we're just dancing in the dark
