Blame it on your summer dress
Blame it on the city air
Blame it on everything or anything
See I wouldn't care

And silently knowing things
That you wouldn't speak of
And I'll just pretend that I can tell
What you are thinking of

Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Just smile like you always do
And I'll stay put for you

If your hearts all booked up
And dressed up in beads and jewels
Digging up the right dirt
But working with all the wrong tools

A lefty in politics
A righty in special tricks
Early to bed, early to rise
How will you get your kick?

Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Just smile like you always do
And I'll stay put for you

Burn it down to the center of the earth
But the center of the earth can't read your mind
Burn it down to the center of the earth
But the center of the earth can't read your mind

Burn it down to the center of the earth
But the center of the earth can't read your mind
Burn it down to the center of the earth
But the center of the earth can't read your mind
Read your mind

And dancing on sidewalks
And trying to loosen up
I'm not sure you like me yet
But I don't plan on giving up

And scream from a mountaintop
Or sing like a songbird
I wanna be near you in love
But love is a dangerous word

Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you

Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Your fuse, my fuse
Cities they burn for you
Just smile like you always do
And I'll stay put for you
