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

Messages keep getting clearer

Radio's on and I'm moving around the place

I check my look in the mirror

Want to change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man, I ain't getting nowhere

Just living in a dump like this

There's something happening somewhere

Baby, I just know 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 gotta stay hungry

Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action

I'm sick of sitting around 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

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

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Hey baby!
