Dancing in the Dark Songtext

von Nicole Atkins

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,
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey man,
I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire,
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message just keep getting clearer,
Radio's on and I'm moving round my place
I take my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes my hair my face
I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just livin in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
I just know that there is

You can't start a fire,
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 and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on the 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 here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction
Come on give me just one look

You can't start a fire,
Sittin' 'round cryin' about a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire,
Worryin' 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
