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


Chorus:

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 just keep 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


Chorus:


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 the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town
and they'll be carving you up alright

They say you got to stay hungry hey baby
I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action I'm sick of

sitting around here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction

come on baby give me just one look

Chorus:


You can't start a fire, sitting around
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
