Crazy = Genius 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"

[Pre-Chorus]

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...

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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...

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...

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!)
