I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say 
I come home in the moring, 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 
(Chorus) 
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 

Message just 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 I'm just livin in a dump like this 
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is 

(Chorus) 

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 the laughs on me 
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright 
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 come on baby give me just one look 

(Chorus) 
You can't start a fire, sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart 
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark 

You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world falling apart 
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 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 

Hey baby!
