Dancing in the Dark

I wake up in the evenin'
And I've not got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
Go to bed feelin' the same way
Man, I'm nothin' but tired
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help

I can't start a fire
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 my place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I'm not gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

I can't start a fire
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 laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you've got to stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
Sittin' 'round here tryna write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on, baby, give me just one look

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

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