Spontaneous Combustion

hey, how you've been?
I'm burning up inside but
hey, that's that's alright
it's what I do for fun these
days of laughter
days of fire
people flaming up
spontaneous combustion
that's my interest now
got to have a hobby
and mine's watching people blow up
spontaneous combustion
that's my obsession
flames are pretty, so are you
I hope that you'll explode
hey, don't freak out
it's not like I've got a flamethrower
ok, maybe I do
but I won't use it on you
or maybe I would?
I'm not really sure
after all, the best people
are covered with gasoline
maybe sometime tonight
I can burn down your beautiful house
and the smoke and the rubble will enchant your eyes
as I hold your hand tighter and on goes the lighter
the flames and the fires will grow so much brighter, oh no
oh yeah
spontaneous combustion
it's my favorite thing
don't you dare walk out that door
I still have things to say
spontaneous combustion
it's so wonderful
as you leave, I hope for this
that you will explode

we met at a shopping market
I was buying toilet paper
I had not seen your face yet
when you pulled out your rapier
"hello, my dear fellow"
"I do challenge you at romance"
"I'll electrify, exterminate,"
"whatever chance you've got left"
[oh, what have I done]
[to deserve such a thing]
[from you, from you]
so I considered all my options
from the few that I had
what to decide of homicide
of loneliness evermore
you seem pretty cool
and I'd like to hang with you more
but there's just one thing that bothers me
it's everything who you are
YOU SPEND YOUR TIME DROWNING DOGS
YOU SPEND YOUR TIME DROWNING DOGS
AND THAT KIND OF FREAKS ME OUT
AND THAT KIND OF FREAKS ME OUT
I need to stop, and consider
ok I've stopped and now I'm considering
and I've got to say
there's no way, that we'll ever know
if what was seen will come true
if what has been had made you blue
and I'm still obssessed
with this great mess of you
[oh, what have I done]
[to deserve such a thing]
[from you, from you]
poodles in the trash compactor
labradors in the car
with the heat turned up, the sun is hot
and the windows are closed
maybe I'm overreacting
maybe I'm being dumb
but that doesn't change what's in my way of you

mister murder maniac
she always had the knack
for love
and for blood
her death ray nears its completion
as she prepares for the extinction
of humanity
but there's still time
YEAH MISTER
IS ASKING YOU OUT
TO A CANDLELIT DINNER JUST FOR TWO
IN HER FORTRESS OF DOOM
ALL OF IT JUST FOR YOU
YEAH THE GREATEST CHEFS
UNDER GREATEST BLACKMAIL
THE GREATEST WAITERS WITH THEIR FAMILIES THREATENED
ALL OF THIS
IT WAS ALL JUST FOR YOU
yeah mister murder maniac
she always did have the knack
for trying to be sensitive
to someone she really likes
[YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH]
but her line of work prohibits
her free time to strut
so she'd wish you'd overlook
her mind control device!
YEAH MISTER
KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE
SHE'LL HIJACK A LIMO
IT'LL BE JUST THE GREATEST THING
YEAH ALL OF HER MINIONS HAVE STOPPED TRAFFIC
JUST SO THERE'D BE NO INTERUPTIONS
YES, MISTER'S IN CONTROL OF THIS TOWN
mister murder maniac
she always gets what she wants
at least that's the way
she thinks it should work
[YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH]
if she sees something she adores
why isn't it hers?
why isn't it hers?
mister murder maniac
she always had the knack
but all the same, she's still alone

you never listen to the lyrics
so why are you surprised?
when everything is gone and it's just you?
red flags and warning signs
are all the same to you
but tell me, what difference does it really make?
[DO YOU WANT TO PLAY TWIN FANTASY AT YOUR WEDDING]
[TELL ME, IS EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE YOUR FAVORITE LOVE SONG]
[IS COTTON IN THE EARS YOUR STYLE?]
[DON'T YOU WANT TO SCREAM?]
tell me, is it true
do you really plan to get through life this way?
it's no skin off my nose
but are you really happy with yourself?
you never listen to the lyrics
so why are you surprised?
when everything is gone and it's just you?
you never listen to the lyrics
so why are you surprised?
when everything is gone and it's just you?

I thought we were doing alright
here in your family restaurant
but then did something change
financial troubles are nothing new
but then you were sick of it too
and that's when you sold your name
don't think I forget
what you have promised yet
so be sure to swing the hammer
[don't despair]
[just be aware]
[when you're asking what's all this for]
for the good of chuck e cheese's
for the good of chuck e cheese's
for the good of chuck e cheese's
franchise
don't be
afraid
it's just a circle
of company health
don't be
so persistent
so insistent
so resistant
this is your job
