Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ripped your heart out from your chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast
[Chorus]
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
[Refrain]
The firefighters hose me down
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's four-alarm, girl, nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me, huh-huh-huh-yeah
[Verse 2]
You doused my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain
[Chorus]
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
[Refrain]
The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice
Now flames are licking at your feet
Sirens come to put me out of misery, oh
[Verse 3]
You wave your torch into my eyes
Flamethrower lover burning mind
[Chorus]
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
