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 myself out in the mirror I wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere just sitting in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire...

You sit around getting older there's a joke it´s while and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders come baby this laughs on me

Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to 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 give me just one look

You can't start a fire sittin' round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire worrin about your little world fallin' appart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire...
