The Fuse

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Swampy Electric Guitar, Low Piano, Deep Sub-Bass, Organ, Drums, Percussion]

[Intro]
Click…
(Click.)
Nothing…
(Nothin’?)
Flip the switch…
(Sure… but which?)

[Verse 1]
There’s a spark in the darkness
There’s a wire in the wall
You can hear the little crackle
When the current starts to crawl

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it dead?
(Is it gone?)
Is it off?
(Or just wrong?)

[Refrain]
The fuse
(Is blown)
No, don’t confuse
(Known with own)

Oh, no, no, no
… don’t confuse
(Unplugged… with a blown fuse)

[Verse 2]
You can unplug the TV
You can shut the whole thing down
If you simply cannot see
And pretend it isn’t around

[Refrain]
The fuse
(Is blown)
No, don’t confuse
(Known with own)

Oh, no, no, no
… don’t confuse
(Unplugged… with a blown fuse)

[Bridge]
Known…
(But not owned)
Own…
(But not known)

[Break]
Did you unplug it?
(Yeah!)
Did the fuse blow?
(No!)
Are you certain?
(I dunno!)

[Instrumental: Heavy Swamp Groove — Distorted Guitar, Organ, Bass, Drums, Saxophone]

[Final Chorus]
Blown fuse!
(Blown fuse!)
Lights out!
(Lights out!)
Don’t confuse
(What it’s about)

Shout:
Unplugged…
(Isn’t blown)
Known…
(Isn’t owned)

[Final Refrain]
The fuse
(Is blown)
No, don’t confuse
(Known with own)

Oh, no, no, no
… don’t confuse
(Unplugged… with a blown fuse)

The fuse!
(Is blown!)
The fuse!
(Is blown!)

[Outro]
Click…
(Click.)

Nothing…
(Nothin’?)

Don’t confuse…
(Unplugged…)

With a blown fuse.

[Silence]
