The Burned Fuse

I wouldn't want to go out on a night like this
When I find myself biting my fingertips
The lighting and wind and the burning fuel
What if it gets worse
and doesn't improve?

I wouldn't want to stay out with the world like this
There's trouble in paradise; something's amiss
There's nothing to stare at as we leave this place.
What if this gets worse
and doesn't improve?

I wouldn't want to stay out when the news is like this
There is nothing left of my fingertips.
The blood, the violence and needless deaths
What if it gets worse
after the fuse is lit?
