THE FUSE

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

 

Down at the court house they're ringin' the flag down

Long black line of cars snakin' slow through town

Red sheets snappin' on the line

With this ring will you be mine

The fuse is burning

Shut out the lights

The fuse is burning

Come on let me do you right

 

Trees on fire with the first fall's frost

Long black line in front of Holy Cross

Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust

Tell me Baby who do you trust?

The fuse is burning

Shut out the lights

The fuse is burning

Come on let me do you right

 

Tires on the highway hissin' that something's coming

You can feel the wires in the tree tops hummin'

Devil's on the horizon line

Your skin and I'm alive

 

Quiet afternoon in the empty house

On the edge of the bed you slip off your blouse

The room is burning with the noon sun

Your bittersweet taste on my tongue

The fuse is burning

Shut out the lights

The fuse is burning

Come on let me do you right
