Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire
[Verse 2]
She said at night in my dreams
You dance on a tightrope of weird
Oh, but when I wake up
You're so normal that you just disappear
[Verse 3]
You're so straight like commuters
With briefcases towing the line
There's no residue of a torturer
Inside of your eyes
[Verse 4]
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Bryan Wilson
[Verse 5]
And I said
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
[Verse 6]
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey, hey!)
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius (Hey!)
[Verse 7]
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey, hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Hey!
[Verse 8]
She said, darling, you know
How the wine plays tricks on my tongue
But you don't seem to change
When you stuff all of your feelings with drugs
[Verse 9]
Other boys you may have dated
Serrated your heart with a slice
But the cut of your love never hurts
Baby, it's a sweet butter knife
[Verse 10]
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson
She said you're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Dennis Wilson
[Verse 11]
And I said
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
[Verse 12]
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey, hey!)
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius (Hey!)
[Verse 13]
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey, hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Hey!
[Verse 14]
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire
[Verse 15]
And I said
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius
[Verse 16]
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey, hey!)
Hey, hey
If crazy equals genius (Hey!)
[Verse 17]
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey, hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey, hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Hey!
