Short Fuse - 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 and 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
