Dancing in the Dark - LYRICS
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' 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 dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' 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 dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' 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
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby

Not much of a Springsteen fan, but DAMN!!!!! this is a Fan-freakin-tastic cover. Thank you.

[@FlyingDoctor60]

Crazy loyal Springsteen fan here (what’s WRONG with all you commenters who are “not a fan of Springsteen”? 😉) and I absolutely LOVED this cover. You are each and all totally amazing!

[@IUBOSSFAN]

Guessing they share two qualities...1) They've heard maybe at most 10 of the 250+ songs Bruce has penned... and 2) They've never experienced Bruce/ESB LIVE. I've attended 30+ shows since 2000 alone ,and that's not even close to average for Bruce fans I see repeatedly at shows. There's a reason people come back again and again...

[@_am.ber_]

AGREED!! I was looking for this comment! The uncultured swines!

[@anooseholay]

I love Springsteens sound but he can keep his politics to himself or just put it in his music like he used to.

[@smokymountains5249]

Springsteen needs to keep his political views to himself. Personally, having heard way more of his music than I would like, I can admit he had 3 or 4 songs 30- 40 yrs ago that were decent.

[@marciajulie]

Best version I've ever heard. Better than the original - and I loved the original.

[@bentongibbons5537]

Great addition with that piano player, talented guy out of Hamilton I heard, also ladies he’s single and a pretty handsome guy. I’ve heard his other stuff and he’s awesome!

[@alisoncircus]

Somehow you made me pay more attention to the lyrics than Springsteen ever did. That's a compliment.

[@susannabonke8552]

That's true for all of their covers. They are accurate and easy at the same time.

[@savyman2376]

For some reason I didn't think I was going to like this cover, but I do because yet again their talent knows no bounds, and they look like they have so much fun to boot

Thank God we have true musicians like this during these very trying times. I feel that God put a little slice of heaven in each musician's heart to allow the rest of us to get an occasional peek. Keep being yourselves. We're all richer for it.

[@musiclove4635]

Agreed.

[@yeswolf1]

I was never a Bruce fan until I saw one of his tours. I left a believer and I will never walk away. Live changes everything. One of the greatest artists of our age -- and until you see him and his band on one of their tours, you may never make the 'connection'.

[@ragingfiip]

YEEESSSSSSS!!!! I feel like it's been forever since the last time we were blessed with another WOTE cover song... and as a New Jersey native and lifelong resident, I not only 100% approve of this one, but absolutely LOVE it! 🔥🙌🏼🔥 Fun Fact: Bruce Springsteen's son went to the same school as me in the late 90s (although he was much younger than I was). We would often see Bruce walking around the hallways, at team games, and various school events. In fact, one time after school, I played flag football with him! He lived right across the street from the school, and I went trick or treating at his house a couple times during Halloween.

[@walkofftheearth]

Thanks so much! Great fun fact, that's pretty cool!

[@fischerstevenm]

From the same area. My parents wanted me to go there and I didnt. And now I wish I had!

[@foxeguitar8020]

@@fischerstevenm we are all just people man. As a musician myself I can tell you that Bruce would have probably been just like any other dude at the school except he played music lol. Considering he wasn't known for his music at the time and was still a kid figuring himself out I doubt much about your school experience would have changed if you went there. You probably wouldn't have even know the dude....or wait...maybe he would have been your best friend! Maybe you would have both learned to play together and it'd be the "Steven Fischer and Bruce Springsteen Band" rofl!!! haha. You never know!!!?!?

[@fischerstevenm]

@@foxeguitar8020 it was a private school in New Jersey and he played concerts as fundraisers for the school. I hear it was quite the experience.

This, like so much of what you do, is amazing!

As someone who has seen Springsteen 4 (or 5) times in concert, I can say that this is one of the only Springsteen covers I've done that does justice to the original. And I think that that's *because* you sound so different from the OG. *Great* job, WOTE.

[@elizabethlnu2775]

I used to be a major Boss fan--even got lucky enough to see him live in 1984--and for years this was my favorite song.
