Dancing in the Dark (Springsteen on Broadway) Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

I get up in the evening
And I ain′t got nothin' to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling 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 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 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
When I figure it out I′ll let you know
All I know is that it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, have a laugh on me

Stay on the streets of this town
Oh, and they′ll be carving you up, that's right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Well, I′m just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting around 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 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
Oh!

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
