[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on, and I'm moving 'round my 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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 around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, give me just one look

[Chorus]
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
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Walk off the Earth is an independent pop, rock, ska, and folk band from Burlington, Ontario.

They’re known for both producing their own original songs in-studio, and recording unplugged covers of popular music. In their videos, the band makes use of uncommon instruments like the theremin, mandolin, glockenspiel, didgeridoo, and the melodica, among many others. The band’s members, Gianni Luminati, Sarah Blackwood, Joel Cassady, Tokyo Speirs, and Adam Michael are all multi-instrumentalists and talented vocalists, allowing them all to share the spotlight.

On December 30th, 2018, the band confirmed the death of their band member, Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor, who died from natural causes. Five months later they released a song in dedication to him.
