I get up in the evening, cnd I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the morning, 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 dancing' in the dark

Messages keeps getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror, 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
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, cnd they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I'm just about starving' 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, 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 dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
