MAIN RIFF
(play MAIN RIFF twice)
VERSE I
I get up in the evening, And I aint 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
(Play MAIN RIFF once)
VERSE II
Messages keep 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 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
(Play MAIN RIFF twice)
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 on baby the laugh's on me
VERSE III
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 baby gimme 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
ENDING
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (repeat through the ending)
