I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
Come home in the morning
Go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Just tired and bored with myself
Hey man
I could use just 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 around the place
Take a look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
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
Even if we're just dancing in
Even if we're just dancing in
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here, it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on man, this laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Man, I'm just about starving tonight
Dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on give me just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' about a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' that your little world's 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
