It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around, can burn up as it’s growing.
That's how it is with arson,
Once you've experienced it, you spread it ‘round to everything;
You want to burn it down.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
There’s lots of kindling, fires quickly can start blooming.
That's how it is with arson;
Once you've experienced it, you want to light things up in spring
you want to burn stuff down.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can have fun with flint, and tinder and some dry ground.
In valleys or on mountain tops
I’ll set the world aglow; the love of flame has come to me,
I want to burn shit down.
