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 an imminent 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
Not 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"
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 3D
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
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
Never be the same, yeah
