I Just Want to Set the World on Fire

Light from a burning cigarette
Casts a shadow over my heart
The lifeblood of an automobile
Rev me up, I'm ready to start

Give me gasoline and kerosene, turpentine and napalm
Put it all together -- lock and load
Fossil fuels are lovely tools to make a fun machine
And it's music to my ears when I hear one--
Explode!


It's time to cross the line
Cause death and fun can intertwine
I like both well done cause I'm a pyromaniac

And if it's highly flammable
I'll show you a miracle
This is what it's like to be a pyromaniac


I am a flaming God
And the fuel that's pumping through my heart?
A lifeblood that's made of oil
Gives me strength to tear the world apart

I'm made of dynamite; I will ignite; I'm molded C-4
It's just a matter of time now before I blow
Just a bit of TNT or gasoline's enough for me
I'm gonna set the world aglow


It's time to cross the line
Cause death and fun can intertwine
I like both well done cause I'm a pyromaniac

And if it's highly flammable
I'll show you a miracle
This is what it's like to be a pyromaniac


I just want to set the world on fire...


It turns your skin to ashes!
Now only bones remain!
I'm a flaming God today!
The world will never be the same


It's time to cross the line
Cause death and fun can intertwine
I like both well done cause I'm a pyromaniac

And if it's highly flammable
I'll show you a miracle
This is what it's like to be a pyromaniac

Author notes

I've been writing songs quite a bit lately. The versions I post here are usually early versions needing revision. I always determine what genre the song will be before I post it. In this case, said genre is Metal/Industrial, which is something to keep in mind while reading this.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
