I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning

I 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


Message keeps getting clearer
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the 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
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


You sit around getting older
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders

come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town

and 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
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction

come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying 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
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby
