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

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio`s on and i`m moving `round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man i ain`t getting nowhere just living
In a dump like this
There`s nothing 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 it`s on me
I`ll shake this world off my shoulder
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 `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 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...
