about

This song is about setting things on fire. It's something we like to do in our spare time. Fun fact: The guitar solo was made by sliding a lighter up and down the fretboard.

lyrics

I need a
Match right now
I’m the biggest flamer that you know
I’m a bad boy
And I was
Never sad when Santa gave me coal
Come see things
From my view
And maybe I can lighten up your life

I love to see things in a fiery state
Just give me a torch and I won’t hesitate
I put the sin in incinerate

I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, whoa
Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, whoa
When things go bad, the flames ignite
I’ve never had a problem twice

You may find
Where I live
The whole city has no trees in sight
Hey hippies,
Don’t freak out
I recycle ash, so it’s alright
My love for
Flame boils
I even kinda want to go to hell

I think even Nero might look up to me
And I don’t need a computer to burn a CD
Billy Joel didn’t start the fire… that was me

I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, oh
Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, oh
A fresh lit match makes me so glad
Tell Johnny Cash I said “my bad”

When I told mom that the house burning down wasn’t me, she called me a liar
Unfortunately she’d figured me out… my pants were on fire
I’m starting to see that the world looks better in flames, oh
Start spilling some gas, grab a torch and prepare to take aim, oh
