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 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 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

You can't start a fire, sitting around crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
