Dancing In The Dark Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
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 dancin' in the dark
[Verse 2]
Message keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on, and I'm movin' 'round my 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
Thеre's somethin' happenin' somеwhere
Baby, I just know that "there" is
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
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 dancin' in the dark
[Verse 2]
Message keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on, and I'm movin' 'round my 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
Thеre's somethin' happenin' somеwhere
Baby, I just know that "there" is
[Chorus]
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 dancin' in the dark
[Bridge]
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere, and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, this laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up, all right
They say, "You gotta stay hungry", well
Hey, baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here, tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, give me just one look
[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
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 dancin' in the dark
[Bridge]
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere, and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, this laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up, all right
They say, "You gotta stay hungry", well
Hey, baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here, tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, give me just one look
[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
