[Intro] Pardon me while I burst Pardon me while I burst [Verse 1] 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 that I can take And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Now two days ago I was having a look in a book And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee I said, "I can relate!" Because lately I've been thinking of combustication As a welcomed vacation From the burdens of the planet earth Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D But thinking so much differently [Chorus] 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 Never be the same, yeah Pardon me while I burst into flames Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me [Chorus] 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
