I get up in the evening
And I don't have nothing to say
Come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey baby, I could use 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

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
Check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my hair my clothes, my face
I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
Yeah well I just know where it 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

Sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere, it's on me
Take this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets in this town
They'll be carving you up all right
Say you gotta stay hungry
Yeah well I'm just about starving tonight
Dying for some action
Sitting 'round here trying 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 about a heart
This gun's for hire
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
If we're just dancing in the dark

Yeah we are just dancing in the dark, now
Yeah we are dancing in the dark, now
You and I we are dancing in the dark
