I get up in the evenin' And I ain't got nothin' to say I come home in the mornin' I go to bed feelin' 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 Message keep getting clearer Radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't getting nowhere I'm just livin' in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere 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, 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 Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' 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' 'round cryin' over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark 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 Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark
