I get up in the evening, and i ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the moring, 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 myself out in the mirror i wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man i ain't getting nowhere just sitting in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby i just know that there is
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 this laughs 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
