Dancing In the Dark (1988/03/28 Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, MI)

I get up in the evenin'

And I ain't got nothin' to say

I come home in the mornin'

I go to bed feelin' the same way

I ain't nothin' 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 dancin' in the dark

Messages keeps gettin' clearer

Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place

I check my look in the mirror

Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere

I'm just livin' in a dump like this

There's somethin' happenin' 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 dancin' in the dark

You sit around gettin' older

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders

Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town

And they'll be carvin' you up alright

They say you gotta stay hungry

Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight

I'm dyin' for some action

I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book

I need a love reaction

Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire

Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

You can't start a fire

Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Hey baby
