Lyrics
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 nothin' 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 keeps gettin' clearer,
radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place,
I check my look in the mirror,
wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face,
man, I ain't gettin' nowhere,
I'm just livin' in a dump like this,
there's somethin' happenin' 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 gettin' 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 carvin' you up alright,
they say you gotta stay hungry,
hey, baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight,
I'm dyin' for some action,
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book,
I need a love reaction,
come on now, baby, gimme 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 dancin' in the dark,
you can't start a fire
worryin' about your little world fallin' 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
