Pardon Me

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

Woe 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... They'll never be the same.



Not 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 in 3-D

But thinking so much differently



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. They'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... They'll never be the same



Pardon me...

Never be the same... yeah.
