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
