Pardon Me

Pardon Me - Incubus

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 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

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

And 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

I'll never be the same
