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 who-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 definate possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's 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, hypocresy
And the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's 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 it's 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
