Dancing In The Dark
²¼Â³Ë¹¡¤Ë¹ÆÕÁÖ˹͢Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

I get up in the evening
I start my day in the evening.

And I ain't got nothing to say
I don't have anything to express or talk about.

I come home in the morning
I return home in the morning.

I go to bed feeling the same way
I end my day in the same emotional state as I started.

I ain't nothing but tired
I am exhausted, and my energy is depleted.

Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
I am fatigued and disinterested with my own existence.

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
I could benefit from some assistance to lift my spirits.

You can't start a fire
One cannot ignite a flame.

You can't start a fire without a spark
Something needs to stimulate the initial flame for it to ignite.

This gun's for hire
I am available for hire.

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we only have limited opportunities, we should still take them and be joyful.

Message keeps getting clearer
The message is becoming more apparent and understandable.

Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
The music is on, and I am grooving to its rhythm.

I check my look in the mirror
I examine my appearance in the mirror.

I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
I want to transform my entire physical appearance.

Man I ain't getting nowhere
I am not making any progress in life.

I'm just living in a dump like this
I am barely surviving in this horrible place.

There's something happening somewhere
Some sort of exciting event is taking place in some other location.

Baby I just know that there is
I am confident that something extraordinary is happening.

You sit around getting older
Just sitting idle will age you.

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I am the source of the joke, and others are laughing at me.

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
I will cast off the burden and negativity that I carry.

Come on baby this laugh's on me
I will own the joke and find humor in it.

Stay on the streets of this town
If you keep hanging out in this town.

And they'll be carving you up alright
They will tear you apart and defeat you while pretending to be your ally.

They say you gotta stay hungry
People assert that staying hungry is necessary for success.

Hey, baby I'm just about starving tonight
I am experiencing severe hunger, both physically and mentally.

I'm dying for some action
I am eagerly seeking an adventure, something to alleviate my boredom.

I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I am tired of sitting idle, attempting to create something noteworthy.

I need a love reaction
I crave a positive emotional response.

Come on now baby gimme just one look
Please just give me a chance and consider me.

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
You cannot revive your passion by wallowing in your pain.

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we have no clear direction, we should find joy and dance in the moment.

This gun's for hire
I am offering my services for any suitable task.

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we are uncertain about where life is taking us, we should still find time to live and rejoice.

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if our circumstances are far from hopeful, we should still take pleasure in the small things and cherish them.

Hey, baby
An affectionate greeting.
