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!
