You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I were to say to you

I didn't set your house on fire

But it's just the way I am

You'll have to take it for a fact

Life can really burn you up

When you're a pyromaniac



CHORUS

If you love somebody

Better set them on fire



I went to your house last night

Your dad called me the human torch

Got a little pissed at him

so I burned down your front porch

Now I feel a little bad

About pouring gas on your dad

But you know it's hard to quit

And besides he started it



CHORUS



I just bought a brand new lighter

And I just can't wait to use it

With a can of karosine

it's so much fun, you can't refuse it

Oily rags are special things

You know to me they're diamond rings

Maybe we can have some fun

Maybe we can burn someone



CHORUS
