Dancing in the Dark

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on, and I'm moving around my place
Check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
Thеre's something happening somеwhere
Baby, I just know that there is

[Chorus]
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

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

[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
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

[Chorus]
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
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

[Outro]
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
