Dancing in the Dark Lyrics

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
Man, 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 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

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
They'll be carving you up alright
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 'round 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 'round 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
And start to figure it out

And if it's crowded all the better
Because you 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
