I get up in the evening

And I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning

I go to bed and I'm feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired

Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself

Hey there baby

Don't you know 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

The radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place

I check my look in the mirror

I wanna change my hair, my clothes and my face

I ain't getting nowhere

I'm tired of sitting right here in a dump like this

There's som' happening somewhere

You know, 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

And even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older

There's a joke goin' 'round and it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders

Come on, baby, this 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

Well, baby, I'm just about starving tonight

I'm ready for some action

I'm tired of sitting right here trying to write this book

There's something happening somewhere

I know, baby, all I need is a little look

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 can't start a fire

Sitting 'round over a broken heart

This gun's for hire

And even if we're just dancing in the dark
