You can set yourself on fire

You can set yourself on fire

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

You're so straight like commuters

With briefcases towing the line

There's no residue of a torturer

Inside of your eyes

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 Brian Wilson

And I said

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Then I'm a fucking arsonist

I'm a rocket scientist

Hey ay ay

If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn

Hey!

She said, Darlin', 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

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

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

And I said

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Then I'm a fucking arsonist

I'm a rocket scientist

Hey ay ay

If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn

Hey!

You can set yourself on fire

You can set yourself on fire

You can set yourself on fire

You can set yourself on fire

And I said

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Hey ay ay, hey ay

If crazy equals genius

Then I'm a fucking arsonist

I'm a rocket scientist

Hey ay ay

If crazy equals genius

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn

You can set yourself on fire

But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn

Hey!
