Dancing in the Dark (Springsteen on Broadway) 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, mmm, I could use just a little help
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Message keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 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 livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
[Chorus 1]
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
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, mmm, I could use just a little help
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Message keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 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 livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
[Chorus 1]
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
[Bridge]
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere
When I figure it out I'll let you know
All I know is that it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, have a laugh on me
[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
Oh, and they'll be carving you up, that's right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Well, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sittin' around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
[Chorus 2]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 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 fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Oh!
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere
When I figure it out I'll let you know
All I know is that it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, have a laugh on me
[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
Oh, and they'll be carving you up, that's right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Well, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sittin' around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
[Chorus 2]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 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 fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Oh!
[Outro]
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
