Hot Chip - Dancing in the Dark lyrics
[Hot Chip - Dancing in the Dark lyrics]
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
Man, I'm nothing but tired
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
Messages just keep getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving around 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 somewhere, it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Staying on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Oh, 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, baby, give me just one look
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
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
That’s how it starts
We go back to your house we check the charts
And start to figure it out
And if it’s crowded, all the better
Because you know we’re gonna be up late
But, if you’re worried about the weather
Then you picked the wrong place to stay
That’s how it starts
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
Man, I'm nothing but tired
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
Messages just keep getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving around 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 somewhere, it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Staying on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Oh, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action

Come on, baby, give me just one look
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
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
