• 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 keeps getting clearer
       radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
  I check myself out in the mirror
       I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face!
  Man, I ain't getting nowhere
       I'm just sitting in a dump like this
  There's something happening 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 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, baby, the laugh's on me)
  Stay on the streets of this town -
       and they'll be carving you up alright
  They say you got to stay hungry
       hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight!
  I'm dying for some action...
       I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
  I need a love reaction
       come on now, baby, give me just one look

  You 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

  You can't start a fire
  Worrying 'bout 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...

  Heeeey, baby! Hmmmhmmhmmm....
