Lyrics for Dancing in the Dark as interpreted by dixy

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
I ain't 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 is for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on
and I'm moving 'round my place
Check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my hair,
my clothes, my face
I ain't getting nowhere
sleeping in a dump like this
Something happening somewhere
Something happening somewhere
Something happening somewhere
Something happening somewhere

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun is for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire
Sitting around crying over a broken heart
This gun is 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 is for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

tegan and sara say that earlier bruce springsteen albums really influenced them as artists.

i love this cover of dancing in the dark, because the clarity in sara's voice really makes you listen to the lyrics, and sort of rediscover the song.

Sara says that its her favorite Bruce Springsteen song cause it has the word dance and she loves to dance.

They grew listening to them, their stepdad is a huge Springsteen fan. They credit him for being an influence.

This song is most definately how im feeling at the moment. its basically saying that i do everything by the book so that the future is something to look forward to becasue youl know everything and just be able to enjoy the life, but your life at the moment sucks becasue its all work and no play.
Also your independance gets the better of you , until people arnt quite sure wether you want help , or to just be left alone.
The lyrics "dancing in the dark" may be a euphamism , but it still means a lot to me because sometimes i stay up all night just listening to music ( a lot of tegan and sara) and dancing in the dark depths of my bedroom : its fun because noone can see you.

I just heard this song by tegan and sara
and I didn't realize the Bruce Springsteen sang it first,
but all I know is that when I just heard this song,
it really inspired me to just keep going on an living,
I may totally be off about the lyrics
but I think that it really just sounds like
someone who is really down and hating thier life
and then realizing that they need to change there life
or else it is just going to go down the drain
and then the other part is another person saying that
your life is valuable and you cannot start making your
life valuable if you are just sitting and wasting your life
away like it is nothing.
I dunno. i just found this song very powerful.
