Deer Tick - Dancing In The Dark Lyrics

Deer Tick Lyrics

"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
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
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just
Dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere
And it's on me
I'll shake this world off
My shoulders
Come on baby this laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be
Carving you up alright
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
Even if we're just
Dancing in the dark
Even if we're just
Dancing in the dark
Hey baby
