PYROMAN
================
I'm here to talk about the state of desire
Only thing I think about is fuel for fire
You're only ruining me by calling me names
All you're doing is fighting the flames
Cos I'm a Pyroman I'll burn downtown I'm a Pyroman
Hose me down!
Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna learn
The only thing im thinking about is something to burn
Any other witness means nothing to me
Don't give it up till I'm free and released
I'm a Pyroman I'll burn downtown I'm a Pyroman
Hose me down!
I'm a dog, i'm a dog, in these days
Walking down the street if anybody plays
It all burns for all that is worth it all burns
Well it's the greatest show on Earth
And I'm a Pyroman I'll burn downtown I'm a Pyroman
Hose me down!
Its my life (blood?) mister
Speak and drink to me
I'll come and take it mister
From across the sea
Cos there is one thing mister
One thing I have learned
The rules go out the window when crude is concerned
Cos it's my secret/sacred? plan yeah
I'll burn downtown I'm a Pyroman
Hose me down! Hose me down !
