Текст Joe Henry — Fuse:

Here comes the night, there go your knees, reaching for the floor
You say I’ll stand guard down here, she stands in the door
With a pony on the tether pulling cold and sugarcane

There go your knees
And there she goes
She’s a-hauling cane like it was gold

And when she calls upon the dead
To stand up in her place
They’ll raise the roof up overhead
And speak out from her face
And fish jump in her boat all day
And flog your feet like steel

There go the dead
Out through the roof
She speaks your name
Like it was proof

The carnies kick the gravel
And they wait for you in town
They pull back on the lever
And they bring the truck around
But her fingers on her lips
Are like a penny for a fuse

And it would take
All the world to go
The town will burn
For all you know
