Dancing In The Dark Lyrics by Pete Yorn

Dancing In The Dark

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 SIT AROUND GETTING OLDER
THERES A JOKE HERE SOMEWHERE AND ITS ON ME
ILL SHAKE THIS WORLD OFF MY SHOULDER
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
EVEN IF WERE JUST DANCING IN THE DARK
EVEN IF WERE JUST DANCING IN THE DARK...
