'Dancin' in the Dark'

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 keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look out in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
Just sitting 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 baby the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' 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 now baby give me just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' around cryin' from a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Hey baby
