I get up in the evening and I don't have nothing to say
I 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 of myself
Hey 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
repeat INTRO
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere oh and I just don't 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
Take the words off my shoulders, come on baby the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets in this town and they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey well I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action, I'm tired of sitting 'round just trying to write this book
I need a love reaction, come on baby gimme 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
You can't start a fire sitting round and crying about a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (x4)
