Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago
I never thought I would be at twenty-three
On the verge of spontaneous combustion whoa-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take and
Exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Now two days ago
I was having a look in a book and I saw a picture
Of a guy fried up above his knees
I said, I can relate 'cause lately
I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation
From the burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy
And the perils of being 3-D
But thinking so much differently, yeah
Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Never be the same, yeah
Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Pardon me
Never be the same, yeah
