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 guns for hire
Even if were just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radios on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I 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 that there is

You can't start a fire
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and its on me
Ill shake this world off my shoulder
Come on baby the laughs 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 round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting round crying
Over a broken heart
This guns for hire
Even if were just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about
Your little world falling apart
This guns for hire
Even if were just dancing in the dark
Even if were just dancing in the dark
