lyrics

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
I'm just tired and bored of myself
Hey there, baby
I could just use a little help

You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving around my place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes my hair my face

And 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
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

We sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I shake the world off my shoulders
Come on baby, this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
and I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action
Sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on, baby just give me one look

You can't start a fire
Sitting around 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
