I get up in the
evening

And I ainÕt got
nothing to say, I come
home in the morning

I go to bed feeling
the same way. I ainÕt
nothing but tired,
man IÕm just tired and
bored with myself

Hey there baby,
I could use just a
little help.
You canÕt start a fire

You canÕt start a fire
without a spark

This guns for hire
even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Message keeps
getting clearer

RadioÕs on and
IÕm moving round the
place. I check
my look in the mirror

I wanna change my
clothes, my hair,
my face. Man, I ainÕt
getting nowhere

IÕm just living
in a dump like this.
ThereÕs somethingÕ
happeningÕ somewhere

Baby, I just know
that there is.
You canÕt start a fire

You canÕt start a fire
without a spark

This guns for hire
even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Instrumental

You sit around
getting older

ThereÕs a joke
here somewhere and
itÕs on me

IÕll shake this world
off my shoulders

Come baby the
laughs on me

Stay on the streets
of this town

And theyÕll be
carving you up all right.
They say you
got to stay hungry

Hey baby, IÕm just
about starving
tonight. IÕm dying for
some action

IÕm sick of sitting
round here trying to
write this book.
I need a love reaction

Come on now baby
give me just one look.
You canÕt start a fire

Sitting round crying
with a broken heart

This guns for hire
even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

You canÕt start a fire

Worried about your
little world falling apart

This guns for hire
even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Even if weÕre just
dancing in the dark

Hey baby
