Pardon me while I burst
Ho, no... ho, no, no
Ho no, no, no, no

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 omnious 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. Don't ever 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 welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently...

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. And I'll never be the same

Never be the same¦ yeah

Ho-oh oh-oh, oh
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. Don't ever be the same...

Never be the same, yeah
Ho no, no-no-no... no...
