lyrics

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
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
But hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Messages getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round this place
I take a look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere, man, 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
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, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry, OK,
I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
Sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction, come on baby,
Gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over your 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
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing
Even if we're just dancing in the--

You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
