I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' 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 dancin' in the dark

Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' round the place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' 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 dancin' in the dark

You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby, the laughs 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 starvin' tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here
Tryin' to write this book
I need a little reaction
Come on now, baby give me just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' around cryin' with a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worrin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby!
