Verse
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
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
Verse
Message 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
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
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
Bridge
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 laugh's on me
Verse
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 now baby, gimme just one look
Chorus
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 x2
Hey baby
