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 my place

i check my look in the mirror

i wanna change my clothe 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

you say you've 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
