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 dancin' in the dark
~
messages keep getting clearer
radio's on and i'm moving round the place
i check my look out 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 dancin' 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 the laugh's 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 starvin' tonight
i'm dieing for some action
i'm sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
i need a love reaction
come on now baby give me just one look
you can't start a fire
sittin' around crying over a broken heart
this gun's for hire
even if we're just dancin' in the dark
you can't start a fire
worried about your little world falling 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
even if we're just dancin' in the dark
hey baby!
