Dancing in the Dark

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

And I'm nothing but tired

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 keep getting clearer

Radio's on and I'm moving around the place

I check my look in the mirror

Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man, I ain't getting nowhere

I'm just livin' 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 somewhere, it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders

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

Oh baby, I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action

I'm sick of sitting around here, trying to write this book

I need a love reaction

Come on, baby, give me just one look

You can't start a fire

Sitting around 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

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark

That's how it starts

We go back to your house

We check the charts

Start to figure it out

And if it's crowded, all the better

Because we know we're gonna be up late

But if you're worried about the weather

Then you picked the wrong place to stay

That's how it starts
