(x4) Down at the court house they re ringing the flag down         Long black line of cars snaking slow through town             Red sheets snapping 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    (x2) Trees on fire with the first fall s frost          Long black line in front of Holy Cross           Blood moon rising 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 hissing something s coming You can feel the wires in the tree tops bumping   Devil s on the horizon line Your kiss and I m alive      A quiet afternoon an empty house          On the edge of your 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    The fuse is burning       Shut out the lights        The fuse is burning  Come on let me do you right    The fuse is burning (x7)
