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
|
