[Verse 1]
Never got around desire
Never felt complete
Doused in oil, and tried by fire
But never to be clean

[Chorus]
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene

[Verse 2]
So throw another on the fire
Turn in your humanity
Apology is uninspired
So hang 'em from the tree

[Chorus]
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene

[Verse 3]
Animals around the pyre
Gather for the feast
To look upon the new messiah
But the flame is all that's seen
[Chorus]
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene
Kerosene

[Verse 4]
Rejected by the purifier
And chosen by the beast
The ones who really lit the fire
Start to show their teeth
