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
  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
      Message keeps 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
      You just sit around getting older
  There's a joke here somewhere ant 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
  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 sittin' round here trying to write this book
  I need a love reaction
  Come on now baby gimmie just one look
      You can't start a fire sittin' 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
