Lyrics

[Intro]
You can set yourself on fire, hey!
You can set yourself on fire, hey!
[Verse 1]
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"
[PreChorus]
She said, "You're just like Mike Love, but you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson"
Said, "You're just like Mike Love, but you'll never be Brian Wilson"
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, hey!"
If crazy equals genius, hey, hey!
If crazy equals genius, then I'm a fucking arsonist, hey!
I'm a rocket scientist, hey, hey!
Hey, hey! If crazy equals genius, hey!
[Refrain]
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!)
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
She said, "You're just like Mike Love, but you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson"
Said, "You're just like Mike Love, but you'll never be Dennis Wilson"
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, hey!"
If crazy equals genius, hey, hey!
If crazy equals genius, then I'm a fucking arsonist, hey!
I'm a rocket scientist, hey, hey!
Hey, hey! If crazy equals genius, hey!
[Refrain]
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!)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, hey!"
If crazy equals genius, hey, hey!
If crazy equals genius, then I'm a fucking arsonist, hey!
I'm a rocket scientist, hey, hey!
Hey, hey! If crazy equals genius, hey!
[Refrain]
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!)
