| 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 sit around getting older |
| There’s a joke here somewhere and 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 sitting 'round here trying to write this book |
| I need a love reaction |
| Come on now baby gimme 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 |
