I get up in the evening 
 And I ain't got nothing to say 
 I come 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   
 Message just keeps 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 
 And I ain't getting nowhere 
 Yeah, I'm just living in a dump like this 
 There's something happening somewhere 
 Baby, 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   
 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, this laugh's on me   
 Stay on the streets of this town 
 And they'll be carving you up alright 
 They say you gotta 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, gimme just one look   
 You can't start a fire 
 Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart 
 This gun's for hire 
 Even 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   
 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
