Get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I am nothin' 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 dancin' in the dark
Messages keep gettin' clearer
Radio's on, and I'm movin' round in my place
I take a look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know 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 dancin' in the dark
You sit around, gettin' older
There's a joke here, somewhere, and it's on me
I'll shake this world on my shoulder
Come on baby, the laugh's on me
Stay off the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up, alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
And baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
Time for some action
I'm sick of sittin' round here, tryin' to write this book
Need a love reaction
Come on baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' round, and cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worry 'bout your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
(Even if we're just dancin' in the dark)
Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark
