 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!
