Dancing In The Dark

Charlotte Martin


(Bruce Springsteen cover)

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the moring
I go to bed feeling the same way

Man, I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby
I could just use 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

Messages 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 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 somewhere and it's on me
I take this world off my shoulders
Come on, come on baby the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And 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
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

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
