Lyrics Short Fuse - The Black Lips

Don't light me up
I got a short fuse
Don't put me down
I just love the dirt
Don't tie me up
Cause I'll just get loose
Don't try to play
You might get hurt

The violence in Europe is oozing
Just like the pus from a broken scab
Got made a man from nights of boozing
Gonna be just like my dad

Hey, Mr. Postman
What's the news today
Can you tell me if everything's gonna be okay
My eyes are wide open
And the drapes have been drawn
My mind is smoking
Blowing up like an atom bomb

Don't light me up
I got a short fuse
Don't put me down
I just love the dirt
Don't tie me up
Cause I'll just get loose
Don't try to play
You might get hurt

The dogs are gone and I can't get work
The sun shines down like a 40-watt bulb
I told my mom and she went berserk
Should have done what I been told

Hey, Humpty Dumpty
I guess you learned your lesson
You got made into breakfast
By some fat old Texan
And all the king's horses
Andnd all the king's men
Couldn't find a reason
And pushed Humpty to his end

Don't light me up
I got a short fuse
Don't put me down
I just love the dirt
Don't tie me up
Cause I'll just get loose
Don't try to play
You might get hurt

Don't light me up
I got a short fuse
Don't put me down
I just love the dirt
Don't tie me up
Cause I'll just get loose
Don't try to play
You might get hurt
