Bruce Springsteen - The Fuse Lyrics






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

    The moment the music pauses on this track is my favorite moment on The Rising album.

    Like Woody Guthrie, a communist with great talent and a kind heart. I can respect that.

    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
    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
    Tyres on the highway hissing something's coming
    You can feel the wires in the tree tops humming
    Devil's on the horizon line
    Your kiss and I'm alive
    Quiet afternoon, in an empty house
    On the edge of 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
    The fuse is burning
    The fuse is burning
    The fuse is burning

    Quiet night- watched the "25th Hour" for the first time- never had a desire to watch movie, but it was a quiet night.
    I was pleasently surprised as to how good a movie it was. Regret not given it a chance till tonight. Then came the closing credits- Wow, how come I have never heard this Springsteen song? I knew from the first chords/notes I was going to love it.
    The Boss.

    F.... O....

    Cindy Did you know it's a Spike Lee movie? Joint productions. just got thru watching myself. The Fuse!!! I love that

    Over in Paris Bruce is Blowing a Fuse. I continue to pray for angels to surround Bruce and keep him safe, the band, the crew,
    his equipment, and bring them safely home. My Heavenly Father hears my prayers, because for some reason I started praying
    for Bruce yesterday. How was I to know he was going to raise hell with the Power Hour after Hour until the Ramrod difused him?

  17. g.... t....

    Just got reaquainted with this cut during the rolling credits of "25th Hour". Great piece of music.

  18. M.... P....

    K.... O....

    This is my favourite album from the Boss. Beautiful song, glad Spike Lee or music supervisor for 25th hour film chose this poiniant song. This album was made 2002? Post 9/11, though great songs, the lyrical content and themes tell a power story throughout this album. Humble guy 👍 Prayers are always with the victims of that tragic event.

    K.... O....

    yep! made the movie for me to hear this amazing tune at the end!!!! so truly fitting!!!!!

  23. C.... ....

    Sorry I meant the song may be a little old. but you go Bruce I loved it.
