I get up in the evening,
And I ain't got nothing to say.
 [bad word] 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.
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 keep getting clearer,
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place.
I check my look in the mirror,
wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face.

Man, I ain't getting nowhere,
When I'm just living in a dump like this.
There's something happening somewhere.
Hey, 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.

You sit around getting older.
There's a joke here somewhere, and it's on me.
I'll shake the world off my shoulders, [bad word] on, baby, the laugh's on me.

Stay on the streets of this town,
And they'll be carving you up all night.
They say, 'You got to stay hungry.'
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight.

I'm dying for some action,
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
this book.
I need a love reaction.
Hey, baby, give me just one look.

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.
