Dancing 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 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 

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 

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 the laugh's on me]

Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right 

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 

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 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
